The most significant event of 2002 election occured in Georgia. It was not the governors race or the senate seat that was significat. The Democrats controlled the State goverment of Georgia for redistricting this time.

The Democrats Gerrymandered 4 NEW Georgia house districts so Republicans could not win them. Last Tuesday the Republicans won 2 of them.

And almost won 3 out of those 4 districts.

That was the warning sign the demorats have ignored. From Florida to the Carolinas and west to Mississippi, other than some isolated ares (like Tennessee where the idiot GOP Governor endorsed a state income tax) the GOP has basically expelled the Demorats from the Southeast. Texas will probably be next. This is a disaster for the dems since the largest population shift is into the South and I know this will shock them, but people really do like low taxes and warm weather without union supervision. So I look forward to the next four years. It will be entertaining to watch them go nuclear on themselves.

And came pretty close in another.

I'm very happy that Roger Kahn lost. We would have had our own Chuck Schumer if he won...
