So, GOP, why NOT?????

[SoFloFreeper]

Senate President Don Gaetz and House Speaker Will Weatherford better have a good explanation for rolling over on this issue.

[Common Sense 101]

Is this the same congressional map that effectively lessened Col. West’s return to the House?

[353FMG]

Too timid and shy.

Why else?

[amnestynone]

Not necessarily, When you look at the strong Republican districts around it. You just might end up with a net one seat Dem loss. That they won't appeal it may mean they like it. That being said it means the dismantling of the Corrine Brown which is 52% black. I thought you couldn't do that.

[thejokker]

Corrine Brown, a major embarrassment to the State, is the product of the convoluted map. My gut feeling is that democrats benefit more from the current system; change would be welcome.

[cotton1706]

They got Alan West out of the Congress. That was probably all they cared about.

I just love threads like this... observing how people express strong opinions with almost no facts. :-)

Math should determine congressional maps, not politicians.

Nor should they. This was clearly a violation of the State statute passed by the voters. All States should adopt a “fair districts” statute. That actually helped, a little, the GOP here in CA. Gerrymandering has gotten completely out of hand.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

This is great news for me. We live an a very thin strip of Corrine Brown’s district and the district was Gerrymandered by the GOP to let Corrine have the district an surround it with Republican Districts. But for those of you who don’t know who she is...This Sheila Jackson Lee or any of that ilk. She is not politically astute except pandering to her base which are the constituants in the inner city core of Jacksonvile and then down to Orange County an Orlando. That means its over 150 miles from one end of this crazy district.

So what does this mean for the August 26th primary?

[arthurus]

Because, as with many political decisions, the Florida Gop is a subsidiary of the Democrat Party.

That is the shortest news article I have seen. There was no excerpting. That one line above was it.
