The spike for carter in 1980 probably came from his having Ed Muskie (extremly popular in his home state) as his Secretary of State. A certain uneasiness among more moderate New England Republicans with the rightward drift that the Republican party signaled with Reagan in 1980 may have been a factor as well which created a defection to either Carter or Independent John Anderson who won 7% nationally that year.
Great work! Can you package them altogether for one big recomendation?

  I broke them up into 2-3 state-sized bites because I thought one big one would be too unwieldy to look at, and I wasn't sure what that much graphics might do to the system.
  But if people think it'd be a good idea, I'd be happy to oblige. [/hrossperot]
