Too bad the constitution didn't make all House delegates "at large" throughout the state. Both sides play this redistricting game and it always adds up to the same thing: statewide majority-party incumbent protection.

I think we can expect a lot of mid-decade redistricting. The Dems won legislatures in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Oregon and Michigan where we have for a while had more Congresscritters than we deserve because of "creative" redistricting. If the Dems play hardball -- and they'd be idiots not too -- those five states could net them an extra ten seats in 2008.

Michigan alone could cost us six seats if the Dems are clever (the MI-6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th ALL are potentially vulnerable)
