Swing State Project has compiled some of the presidential results by congressional district:Urgh indeed. I dislike her almost as much as Palin. She couldn't have handled herself any worse over the last month, yet still wins. Amazing.

On the basis of this year's presidential election, MN-06 is the most Republican district in the state. Bachmann, for all her nuttiness, had the luxury of falling back on the natual conservative tilt of her district. Though I'm still left wondering why the GOP bailed on her.
More disappointing is the failure of the Democrats to capture the open seat in MN-03 (also in the Minnesota suburbs), where Obama beat McCain by 6.4 points.
