This election is not re-electing the President.. he is not on the ticket
   
It is about redistricting. 2011.. they will redistrict for congressional seats.. If the republicans get back in power.. well just think about it. They will cut it up to ensure Bachmann and King and their ilk will have full power for the next ten years.

Redistricting sets it up for 10 years.

They can cut those districts up in such a way that minorities will not be represented. They can cut that up in such a way, that in Iowa they will move us into the red zone.

Ten years.. can you live with those jackals for 10 years.. talk about a re-education camp. Nationwide.

Ten years..

1. Amen. I'm going to proudly vote because my Senator is excellent, and my....
   
...Congressperson continues to mature progressively in office.

I don't get the folks who can't seem to distinguish the difference between individual human beings.

2. Hell of a campaign slogan
   
Especially for the party in power.

"Our guys not on the ballot, so don't forget to vote".

Such a long way from hope.

Hey, DUmmies, redistricting is decided on the state level. Congress has little to do with it.

Memo to DUmmies:

The STATE LEGISLATURES draw up the districts.  Guess which party controls most of the state legislatures of states which are GAINING seats, states like:

Texas (+3)
Florida (+2)
Arizona, California, Georgia, Nevada, Utah (+1 each)


As opposed to the folks LOSING seats, like:

Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Missouri, Pennsylvania (-1 each)
New York, Ohio (-2 each)

Whoopsie!

I'm surprised California 23rd isn't on that list.
