Yep. Gerrymandering. That’s why western Maryland is now blue.

If the map becomes that red, then it would be great opportunity to flip the colors to their rightful owners. And keep it that way.

Here is the 2012 election. The top chart is the raw vote. The bottom chart is the relative difference.

Sure it does. Some red congressional districts on the map occupy almost the area of an entire state, while many blue districts are jammed together into little dots on the map. Yet, all the districts represent an equal amount of political influence.

No reason to annihilate. Just isolate.
Seriously, if they’d just leave the rest of us alone, they can go ahead and “be liberal” in their enclaves.

Haha, that’s my old district. It was not gerrymandered to get a democrat elected though, because all the surrounding areas would always go democrat anyway. It was specifically gerrymandered to link the shrinking pockets of white, middle class voters in the Chicago metro area together, so that Chicago machine politicians could keep the district out of the hands of the growing hispanic and black population.

Lost the Tallahassee area. I believe it usually goes democrat

[Art.] And policies designed to appeal to the Obama Democratic base may be repelling other, larger segments of the electorate.

No reason to annihilate. Just isolate. Yeah, the Iranians, or the Norks, or the Pakistanis and Taliban and al-Q'aeda will take care of the annihilation part eventually, when someone lobs a 150-kt cookie into the middle of that mess.

They say blacks are NOT a growing segment of the population? Surprising. Their birth rates seem to be through the roof, particularly when you consider how young they are when they start having babies. Must be the black on black murder rate is having an effect.

The numbers of blacks having abortions is through the roof.
Read somewhere the number is something like 70% of all black pregnancies end up in abortion.

Bummer.
I like to visit the Florida Panhandle.
It’s Florida without the noxious transplanted northeast folks that have taken over the rest of it.
