Via my benevolent editor, an interesting press release appeared in my inbox: this map of where foreclosures are concentrated. It may point to a reason for Obama’s resurgence in Florida, Colorado, and Nevada, all battleground states where foreclosures are high. It also includes lists of the most- and least-affected congressional districts that include at least one competitive race, John Porter’s strong challenge from Dina Titus in Nevada:
Dennis Cardoza (D CA-18) at 4.59 percent
Mary Bono Mack (R CA-45) at 4.51 percent
Jon Porter (R NV-3) at 4.45 percent
Joe Baca (D CA-43) at 4.16 percent
Connie Mack (R FL-14) at 4.04 percent
Jerry Lewis (R CA-41) at 4.01 percent
Howard McKeon (R CA-25) at 3.86 percent
Ken Calvert (R CA-44) at 3.59 percent
Shelley Berkley (D NV-1) at 3.22 percent
Jerry McNerney (D CA-11) at 3.16 percent
Peter Welch (D VT at Large) at 0.001 percent
Jerry Moran (R KS-1) at 0.002 percent
Gene Taylor (D MS-4) at 0.003 percent
Charles Boustany (R LA-7) at 0.004 percent
