GOOD.
Give one back to MS!
On the bright side, it's 2 less EC votes for Mrs. Clinton.
That noise you hear is power sliding to the red states...
Sounds good in theory, but remember how Congressional seats are drawn-up. That is where election rigging really takes place.
Look for a fierce re-districting battle after the 2010 census.
Just remember that the state legislatures are the ones who redraw lines. I have a feeling that it won't be Charlie Rangel or his ilk being drawn out of a seat in NY. Better chance that the most conservative Republican will be looking at a primary fight with another Republican.
Our local paper ran a story today that Kentucky will be losing one as well.
Texas and Florida are supposed to be the big gainers. I think it said each would gain about 8 or 9 seats. Can we say emerging Hispanic influence in Congress?
Too bad they can't lose two Senate seats.
If Eliot spitzer gets elected Governor in 2006, make that more like 4 seats!
Democrats are gaining steadily in the New York State Senate, and may well have the majority by or before the 2010 election. If there's a two-house plus Governor Democratic regime in Albany, expect the delegation to drop by at least 5 Republicans ... while we'll likely pick up 2 of them where they're reapportioned, the other 3 will be a straight-ahead loss.
Since we have a big city in our district I’ve got a dem anyway. Sure take two of them out. Just make them dems. RME
