Colorado GOP Loses Supreme Court Redistricting Appeal (washingtonpost.com)


Hooray for the Supremes!Colorado GOP Loses Supreme Court Redistricting Appeal (washingtonpost.com):

Colorado Republicans lost a Supreme Court appeal Monday over whether a congressional map favorable to Democrats is permanent until after the next census in 2010.

A fractured court refused to consider replacing that map with a GOP-drafted redistricting plan, a defeat for Republicans who have sought to reopen the boundary-drawing process in several states to protect their control of the House.


Prediction: The Texas GOP, who redistricted in a most blatant manner to increase the number of Republican Congressman, will be surprised in November when their tactics prove unattractive to voters. Governor Rick Perry has devastating poll numbers, and the state is in a mess. Though Bush continues to poll well, I suspect that he will have very short coattails, and the Repugs will pick up fewer seats than anticipated by Tom DeLay.
