Anyone interested in an 08-12 Romney or Paul swing/trend map?

Very good.

You are to be commended.

You sir are a genius.

Well I wouldn't go that far, but thank you very much indeed!

If I am reading this correctly, red and pink represent negative trends, while green and cyan represent positive trends?

Negative and positive swings, correct.

a Huckabee v Santorum map might be interesting.

What do you mean? Swing from H. to S., or just a strength comparison?

Here's the Paul swing and trend for Xahar. The Romney trend is so similar to the swing that it's not worth making the map.

Not really, but it's a question of how you want the data you are looking for to be displayed.

I was thinking in terms of a single map. It would look like a swing map, but it would be a strength map really - since it's not the same candidate. Does that clarify it?

If I overlay the Huckabee and Santorum strength maps, the Huckabee strength will be greater almost everywhere partially because Santorum ran against more candidates (Huckabee was 10% stronger statewide than Santorum - it's not an altogether even comparison.) Are you looking for a comparison of the strength of each candidate against the statewide average?

Sorry if I'm being a little dense, but I just can't figure out in my own mind how to present the information you're looking for in a meaningful way
