Santa Clara County, CA

D from 1988-2012, R From 1972-1984, and went for the winner of the election every year from 1920-1968 with the exceptions of 68 and 48. Santa Clara County would've swung left IMO even without it's growing minority population due to the GOP's swing towards social conservatism. Heck, Carter's religous talk probably scared the county into voting for Ford in 76.
