He needed me to put him in his place. Happy to do so free of charge!
Bottom line on redistricting is simple. In the last election Obama won by 4 points and 5 million votes. Yet on a Congressional district basis Mittens would have won the election. That's gerrymandering. I'm not accusing the GOP of doing anything underhanded. All of their efforts were done in compliance with federal law, and as a Dem I say don't get mad, get even. However, only a fool would mistake one good election (2010) which luckily coincided with the 10 year requirement to redraw districts with some sort of GOP mandate. The party is as popular as jock itch. In a fair district election, they'd be screwed. No worries though, as the utter idiocy of the Boner, Ryan and Cantor show will most likely ensure a Dem President to succeed the O.
