Historically, it had had a character similar to <a href="/wiki/Yellow_Dog_Democrat" class="mw-redirect" title="Yellow Dog Democrat">Yellow Dog Democrat</a> districts in the South. However, the rural areas of the district, once solidly Democratic, had swung hard to the GOP since the turn of the century. Indeed, in 2000, Republicans captured most of the area's legislative seats and have held them ever since. Even before then, the district had been shedding more of the strongly Democratic areas near Kansas City due to that city's dwindling population. As late as 1983, during Skelton's third term, the 4th stretched as far west as <a href="/wiki/Independence,_Missouri" title="Independence, Missouri">Independence</a> on Kansas City's eastern border. As a result, it had been pushed further into heavily Republican <a href="/w/index.php?title=Southwest_Missouri&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Southwest Missouri (page does not exist)">Southwest Missouri</a>. <a href="/wiki/Al_Gore" title="Al Gore">Al Gore</a>, <a href="/wiki/John_Kerry" title="John Kerry">John Kerry</a> and <a href="/wiki/Barack_Obama" title="Barack Obama">Barack Obama</a> all won less than 40 percent of the vote in the district even as Skelton skated to reelection. It was considered very likely that Skelton would be succeeded by a Republican once he retired. </p><p>In 2010, Skelton faced former Republican <a href="/wiki/Missouri_House_of_Representatives" title="Missouri House of Representatives">state Representative</a> <a href="/wiki/Vicky_Hartzler" title="Vicky Hartzler">Vicky Hartzler</a> of <a href="/wiki/Harrisonville,_Missouri" title="Harrisonville, Missouri">Harrisonville</a>, who had been out of politics for more than a decade.
