Saw it coming for years.
On the bright side, it's 2 less EC votes for Mrs. Clinton.

It'll have no affect on Hillary's 2008 run. The electoral college votes will be the same as the ones that were used in 2004.

Nevada, Arizona, Florida, Texas and Utah are the fastest growing states. Arizona and North Carolina will move in to the top ten states. Michigan and New Jersey will fall out of the top ten. Hmmm...which ones are red states and which ones are blue?

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.

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?
To: Ravi
Too bad they can't lose two Senate seats.

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

Maybe we can redistrict out the one Dem from Kentucky's delegation. That will definitely be the goal. The GOP has a pretty solid lock on the State Senate right now and has made significant gains in the State House. The "shhhh, don't tell" goal of the Republican Party of Kentucky right now is to have both chambers firmly in GOP control by 2010, so that we can draw the new district lines.
To: Ravi
If Eliot spitzer gets elected Governor in 2006, make that more like 4 seats!
