We picked up a net of 4. Does this mean that without redistricting, we would have lost seats? Or, does it indicate that the TX re-districting didn't materialize as positively (far less than 7 seats) as we had hoped?

A little of both. We fell 1 short in TX. Pro-infanticide Chet Edwards held on.

Outside of TX, we fell 2 short. (Or only 1 short if we can pick up LA-7). We gained 2 (KY and IN) and lost 4 (CO, NY, GA, IL). Crane losing in IL was a surprise to me. I didn't realize he was in any trouble, but I guess when your state party is in as bad a shape as the IL GOP, things like this happen. I was also hoping we might be able to knock off Moore(KS), Herseth(SD), or Pomeroy(ND).
