How the hell did Dan Glickman hold this seat for 18 years (1976 to 1994)?   He wasn't even a moderate Dem as he was a strong supporter of single payer healthcare.

Could be why he lost re election in the '94 midterm...

But you'd think a candidate like Glickman would have lost in 1978(after one term) in a district this Republican rather than last nearly 20 years.

Mulvaney always won that district with underwhelming margins but that may just be because its Mick Mulvaney rather than the district being particularly competitive.

Pretty much any Democrat is guaranteed 40% in that district due to the black population.  It's getting above 45% that is very difficult.
