Redistricting is one of the biggest disgraces in national politics. The Democrats have no shame in how they draw the boundries to either suit their own needs or punish those who do not toe the line.

Here in Calif. Ellen Tauscher, another Liberal muilti millionaress, who decided politics was where she wanted to play, was punished for not supporting Nancy Pelosi. Her district was ripped apart, with some of the wealthy areas being taken away. She now has to grovel for votes from the farmers in the lowlands of Dixon. 40-50 miles from her previous area (which was about 25 miles tops in any direction.

Note, nothing against the good people of Dixon. But Ellen Tauscher is more comfortable with a glass of Montrachet and brie, then she is with some fine baby backs and a brew.

My guess is Dixon will never be honored with a vist from Ms. Tauschers Lincoln Navigator driving entourage.

It is a shame, but in this instance (doesn't happen often) I see no difference between Dems or Repubs in how they gerrymander.
