Ohio 11-5 solid Dem map

This is my second attempt at drawing an 11-5 map of Ohio and is much more successful.  I was able to make all 11 seats strong enough for Democrats to win, even in a 2010 type of wave election.  All but two are D+6 or greater, one is D+5, while the last one is just as strong given how Obama underperformed local Democrats in southeastern Ohio.  All 5 incumbent Democrats get districts they should be happy with (even Kucinich, unfortunately) while districts are drawn to suit comeback bids by Charlie Wilson, Mary Jo Kilroy, and Steve Driehaus if he were interested.

Note, this map only uses crossover touch point contiguity twice, once between the 5th and 8th and once between the 3rd and 8th.  Additionally, the small sliver of the Ohio river from Cincinnati to the Pennsylvania border is used by the 2nd district for water contiguity.
