What a shame.

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?

Maybe we can redistrict out the one Dem from Kentucky's delegation.

That seems a bit excessive! The numbers I saw had FL and TX each gaining 3 seats.

Here's a link to a PDF showing the latest 2010 apportionment projection from Polidata:

I think the +8 or 9 seats for Texas and Florida are using the 2030 projections. If you run the 2030 projection numbers, Florida would go from 25 to 34 and Texas would go from 32 to 40.

Using the 2030 projections, New York would drop from 29 to 23 and California would only rise from 53 to 55.
