Low turnout
I was right about the low turnout. In 2004 there were over 300,000 votes (311,854 to be exact) in the 21st congressional district. In this 2006 election for the 21st district, there appears to be a total of just over 203,000 votes.
Going county by county, total # of votes was: (2006 are rough, 2004 are exact)
2006 2004
Albany: 99,000 148,225
Montg: 11,100 21,430
Schdy: 46,000 70,344
Schoh: 10,200 14,672
Fulton: 6,500 11,730
Renss: 27,000 41,196
Sarat: 2,900 4,257
The last three are parts of the counties; first four are the whole counties -- that's how the district is made up.
Notice that Albany's turnout is down 50% while the turnout in Montgomery and Fulton is down more than that. Not sure if this means anything, but just noticed it.

You also had two different political waves each year . . . 2004 Re-Elect the War President - 2006 Blue Tsunami. It was smart to run a low budget campaign. You obviously believe in not wasting money.
