I say TX gains two and PA loses two.
I predict two of the TX seats will be drawn to favor the GOP and two will probably be in metro areas (esp. Houston) and will probably favor the Dems.
PA will probably lose PA-12 (Critz) - if we're lucky. Don't know about the other PA one.
Care to make any predictions?
I predict TX +6 seats. 1 RG Valley, 1 Austin/SA metro, 2 each Houston metro and DFW metro.
We’re going to lose at least one in Michigan. Fortunately we took the gold in the election.
(Captain Obvious alert)
If PA loses two, I predict it will be PA-12 and PA-13.
New York, California, Ohio, Michigan, Illiois, and Florida lose. RAT-infested states all.
Tennessee, Texas and South Carolina gain.
TX gains 4.
Utah gains one, and yes, it will be GOP.
Barney Frank has made some noise about this being his last term, MA4 could end up being reabsorbed back into the districts it was gerrymandered out of.
If (when) New Jersey loses a seat it will be 7th CD Leonard Lance (RINO) first elected in 2009.
Not much of a loss IMHO.
The other option is 111th Congressional District: NJ04
Representative: Christopher H. Smith (R), but in doing so one of the neighboring (D) Districts would move from a solid (D) back to a swing district.
Addition by subtraction is Massachusetts losing one.
Clyburn and most of the black caucus members should be safe—the districts will be drawn to maximize their chances of keeping their seats.
Gainers: TX +3, FL +2, UT +1, NV +1, GA +1 and AZ +1
Losers: NY -2, OH -2, PA -1, MI -1, IL -1, LA -1, IA -1
Good. Pennsylvania needs to lose a Congressman or two. We have far too many with too much time on their hands creating bad laws. Might actually mean that the ones who are left will actually have to do some real work for a change.
Fantastic! Long overdue payback to a district that sent Murtha to Congress for 18 terms even after his involvement in the Ab Scam scandal.
Washington(AP) Today’s announcement of the latest Census figures even stunned the politicians in Washington. It had long been thought that New York, and California would lose seats for the first time in 50 years. After the Census Bureau released the numbers, it appears the states of New York, California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, and New Hampshire will each pick up 20 seats, completely removing all representation from the western Pennsylvania border to the eastern border of Nevada.
President Obama thanked all the hard workers, and his supporters in the Census Bureau, and that, despite objections from the 30 states no longer represented, there would be no recount.
The writer is lazy. Before the November election, there was talk of Michele Bachmann’s congressional district being eliminated if Minnesota lost a seat in the US Congress. However, since Nov. 2nd, the Minnesota house and Senate is under the control of the GOP!!! Hooray. So, Mr. Wassermann ought to do his research before he implicates himself as a plagiarist - regurgitating last summer’s news.
It’s just as possible, but not probable, that Keith Ellison may find his district redrawn (now, that would be a blast).
My predictions are:
Lose 2: NY, OH
Lose 1: LA, IA, NJ, IL, MA, MI, MN, MO
Gain 3: TX
Gain 2: FL, AZ
Gain 1: GA, SC, NV, UT, WA
