Minnesota:

Obama

61B (Hipster areas and poor minority neighborhoods in Minneapolis) Obama 88.51% McCain 9.43%
61A (My district, the same pretty much) Obama 87.88%, McCain 9.71%
58B (Black neighborhoods in north Minneapolis) Obama 86.07%, McCain 12.52%
65A (Minority neighborhoods near downtown St. Paul) Obama 82.80%, McCain 15.37%
62A (More hipsters and minority neighborhoods in southeast Minneapolis) Obama 81.89%, McCain 15.87%

Pretty boring actually. The best Obama districts outstate would be more interesting, but even they are all located in or around Duluth in northeast Minnesota.

McCain

16B (exurbs in Sherburne County) McCain 60.77%, Obama 37.28%
34A (exurban development and old German towns in Carver County) McCain 60.19%, Obama 37.85%
19B (Emmer's seat, string of Wright county exurbs) McCain 59.35%, Obama 38.77%
18A (Old German towns and a little bit of exurban development creeping in) McCain 58.04%, Obama 39.09%
10B (A bunch of lakeside homes for rich people and fundamentalist Lutheran towns in west central Minnesota) McCain 58.03%, Obama 39.59%

Obama's best seat represented by a Republican is 9A, where the district swung unusually strongly for Obama and the incumbent was mayor of the dominant city in it for 20 years and has a very strong personal vote. Obama won 57.89% in it. McCain's best seat represented by a Democrat is 16A, which was narrowly won by a DFL with McCain taking 55.39% and is just a bunch of very conservative rural towns north of the metro. The DFL actually holds Senate seat 16 too (third most conservative in Minnesota by one measure) and district 10 too which contains the aforementioned 10B and is one of the three State Senate seats to vote for Mark Kennedy in 2006.
