3. There was an article in this months vanity fair that talked about gerrymandering and

how it means only a few seats are open races. Which means that most of the actual 'races' really take place in the primaries. Which means that it is a tight race between centre candidates and right wing nuts (teabaggers) or left wingers who often win. So congress is becoming more and more extreme on both sides of the isle.

If this is true we could expect to see more teabaggers in 2010.
