I can’t recall where I learned that - PA 12 gone. It was a while ago. Do a google search (PA congressional district 12 census) or something like that and you’ll probably come up with the info.
22% !!!
What the hell???
That's pathetic! No wonder we have the crooks, union thugs and idiots running the state! Shame on you PA! Shame on all you lazy whiners who couldn't be bothered to get off your fat a$$eS and vote!
And to you, 'jveritas', I just want to acknowledge that you were right about not being able to count on PA. I am embarrassed for my Commonwealth, and by my fellow Pennsylvanians.
22%...Ugh!
(end of rant)
I think I found what you were talking about -
“-Murtha House seat likely to disappear-”

“The candidate who succeeds the late Rep. John P. Murtha (D., Pa.) in a special election this spring might not want to buy a home in Washington.
That’s because demographers estimate that Pennsylvania will lose at least one seat in the decennial reapportionment of House seats among the states after the 2010 Census - and some political analysts believe the 12th District would be an easy target for state lawmakers reshuffling boundaries before the 2012 elections.
Murtha’s district, which looks somewhat like a crustacean spread over parts of nine counties, was itself gerrymandered into existence to save his job a decade ago, after the Census determined that Pennsylvania would lose two representatives because of sluggish population growth relative to other states.”
