You've read me wrong. I' not an admirer of Pete McCloskey by a long shot. But by opposing a fair redistricting measure, Doolittle has proven himself a self-serving beaurocrat. If Holmes were to win the primary (which is unlikely), he'd be unseated in the 2008 primary by a conservative without Doolittle's flaws.
Why is it "fair"? What makes 3 specially selected retired judges less corrupt than 120 elected legislators? There are plenty of "unfair" provisions in this legislation (like using the results without voter approval in the instant election, for example).

Do you know why he opposes it? (that's what I was searching for when I found the McCloskey maneuvers).

Other than opposing redistricting, what "flaws" are you speaking of? He appears to have a solid record from what I've seen.
