That's a shame.

[GreaterSwiss]

I am against this. I rather politicians lose on ideas then being able to pick their voters

[Tea Party Terrorist]

Asheville is not a college town, and it was more like 85% was taken out of the 11th district.

[ConservaTexan]

I was hoping that the Texas GOP would target Hurricane Sheila. Sorry to see that she didn’t make the list.

[FreeAtlanta]

I agree. Districts should be drawn by a computer and the sole parameters should be driving radius to polling place and necessary population.

Skin color, Religion, freakishness or normalness should not play into it.

With the screeching coming out of Conyers district, you’d think his seat had been eliminated.

[cripplecreek]

That’s more of a census issue than anything. If the census just recorded pure numbers, there would be nothing to base gerrymandering on.

However, as populations grow and shrink we’d still need a means of deciding who loses a district and where to place a new district.

Shuler needs to go! He has stated he would not vote to repeal Health Care and he was/is a Nancy Pelosi butt-boy.....Call him as much of a Blue-dog as you like(he didn’t vote for Obamacare or Debt Ceiling) but only because Dems didn’t need his vote!

[saganite]

I live in the District Shuler represents. This is damn good news! I hope we can get a first rate candidate.

Asheville isn’t a college town? You mean somebody stole UNC Asheville?!

WRT Mr. Shuler and his district.

Asheville is known as the gayest small city in the world.
For sometime it prided its self in spelling its name
A_Sheville after all the short haired ladies residing there.
Gimmorah to the south is a common way of referring to the place.
Too bad the town wasn’t moved to Mercury or Venus.

There are several colleges there or nearby. One of Gingrich’s pals is a prof at one of them.

Asheville is to lesbians what San Frans tenderloin district is to butt pirates

We were there in May, and saw “Keep Asheville Weird” bumper stickers.
Apparently it's also a T-shirt...:^)

Yep.. not too many (R)s here —

[randita]

They’re on the list :)

[Cyber Liberty]

Eh. Will make no difference in the end. Most of the population from the blue states are relocating to enclaves in red states. Then, they elect Dems and thus pollute their adopted states. They bring their filth with them.

[newzjunkey]

The article only mentions Dems possibly at risk but ignores the Republicans in CA who are on the chopping block.

I hope we can get a first rate candidate.

That's the problem isn't it?I'm a GA voter but spend a lot of time in Macon Co. The Schuler's predecessor was a crook. Hopefully someone of character and conviction will step up.
