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.

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.

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.
