When they restructured it after the 2010 census, they left Longmont (where I live, outside of Boulder) in the district, but got rid of Fort Collins, thus diluting the Democratic influence. Basically all of Eastern Colorado, but skipping every remotely big city they could (when Wikipedia refers to Greeley, Longmont, Castle Rock, and Parker as the only large cities in the district, I had to laugh). Apparently when Marilyn Musgrave got beaten in 2008 as part of the Obama wave, the Repubes wanted to make sure it couldn't happen again.
