And, wait until the new census figures come out. With perhaps 10 million or more illegal aliens being "counted as citizens" in states with high numbers of illegals, the congressional seats will be drastically changed. States like California, New York, Illinois, Florida, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Washington, Virginia and Oregon, with high numbers of illegal aliens, will gain congressional seats; while states like the Dakota's, Idaho, Wyoming, Missouri, Iowa, etc., will lose congressional seats. It's a well known fact that lower income folks will vote with the party that promises the most benefits for the poor (Democratic Party), so it's obvious that the Democratic Party will win the majority of any new congressional redistricting.

Pennsylvania’s congressional, U.S. Senate and gubernatorial races are without question the bellwether for this fall’s midterm elections. Yet the results of state legislative races will impact the state’s political future more than the other races combined.

That’s because politics’ favorite cyclical math equation (aside from figuring how to count super delegates) is gerrymandering, and it is back to add to the drama until the 2012 presidential election – as if politics needs any more high drama.

Thanks to sluggish population growth, the U.S. Census Bureau estimates that Pennsylvania will lose at least one congressional district when redistricting lines...
