So let me get this straight... The Pubbies hold every statewide office and the majorities in the Texas House and Senate, and yet the Democrats were insisting that there was nothing wrong with the current districts that gave them a majority of the US House seats with a 17-15 advantage...

Sounds like most people in Texas are voting Republican. Now they will get a chance to do that for Congress as well.

Republicans have:
Every statewide office.
Both the State house and Senate.
The state Supreme court.
Both US Senate seats.
The electoral votes from the last presidential election (not to mention the presidency itself).
IIRC, they had 60% of all votes cast for the US House races.

But they were down 17-15 before that Democrat switched a couple of days ago.

That pretty much sums it up. I'm am SOOOOOOO looking forward to getting out of Nick Lampson's (formerly Jack Brook's) district. Nick should be hitin' the unemployment line about this time next year.
