1. Look like the Republicans may gain a few seats.

[Bill McBlueState]

2. Ohio -2

I bet the Republicans in the statehouse already have a plan to redistrict two House Democrats out of their jobs. Betty Sutton is probably in trouble; I don't know who else they'll go after.

5. I was wondering how they redistrict. Guess that would be the most

important factor...

[Freddie Stubbs]

7. Fudge doesn't have much to worry about, as they have to draw a minority-majority district if

possible.

3. The American Spectator

is the only place this info was published?

4. I see it as four new Texas districts for Democrats to take

It's not that Democrats aren't trying, but some of them need to get out there.

6. +1!

I'm wondering where the new districts will be. I would love to see more Hispanic women in the lege...

[T Wolf]

8. Of these twelve changes, the pukes will probably gain at least that many. Add in

redistricting bullshit and you're looking at maybe double that amount.

The numbers in the way the system is set up always works against us.

Just another reason why the whole thing has to be torn down and rebuilt from scratch.

9. Oh, fuck, Just what we needed. More seats for Florida, Texas and Utah.

And loss of a seat for Massachusetts.

10. I was hoping Michelle Bachmann's district was going away after she called to boycott the Census. n/t

[Zen Democrat]

11. If Democrats are moving into Red States -- that's a good deal.

I know that the biggest part of the pick-up in Texas is from Hispanics. Regardless that the Repubs control the legislature and the Governorship, if they don't make nice with the Hispanic population their days are numbered.

It didn't help them that both Texas Senators voted AGAINST the Dream Act. Idiots.
