I expect New York to lose three electoral votes after the next Census.

Now that will be exciting. However, the Democrats will gerrymander the districts in New York so there'll be no Republicans left. But we will get increased representation in states like Utah, North Carolina, and Texas who are more conservative than RINOs found in New York State anyway.

If I remember correctly, NY lost two House seats after the last census. Under a deal struck with Joseph Bruno - the Republican Majority Leader of the state senate - one Democrat lost his seat as did one Republican. What sort of deal will be struck after the 2010 census is unknown, but Bruno is a shrewd man and he'll extract every concession available.
