Dem's lose sounds good to me.

Thanks to a Gov Keating proposal protecting the seat of Largent expected to go to Keating's wife, Oklahoma will lose Istook who will be put in J.C.'s district and his proposal protects the RAT carson in northeast OK making the seat of Largent even more Republican -- go figure! Would bet there is no way that Istook can defeat J.C. in our district -- in fact, you can take that to the bank!

Good news is that Cathy Keating is very conservative! Bad news is that we are stuck with a RAT unless someone can get Dr. Tom Coburn to run again who is probably about the only Republican that could win that area!

I would question the Oregon no change status. The Dems have gained though an all Democrat redistricting that ended at the State Supreme Court. The D Secretary of State made sure that a good number of usually suburban R districts all had a finger that touched Portland (D) and increased their influence from 10 to 18 districts.

I've seen the Georgia District map and it is one of the worst cases of drawing I've ever seen-- a mixed-up jigsaw puzzle is orderly by comparison. I'm curious how any court can approve such a traversty and why the Republicans aren't fighting against it.

Pennsylvania may be a marginally Democrat state, but a 2-1 majority for Republican seats is not likely to produce a map like Georgia because Democrats tend to be clumped in the cities. Georgia, while it has a fair mix of urban and rural (Zell Miller type) Democrats, is trending Republican overall, so an increased Democrat majority makes no sense.
