The 2010 margin of victory is shown next to each Congressman’s name:
Gabrielle Giffords (AZ-8) 49-47
Sanford Bishop (GA-2) 51-49
John Barrow (GA-12) 57-43
Joe Donnelly (IN-2) 48-47
Dale Kildee (MI-5) 53-45
Gary Peters (MI-9) 50-47
Heath Shuler (NC-11) 54-46
Mike McIntyre (NC-7) 54-46
Larry Kissel (NC-8) 53-44
Betty Sutton (OH-13) 55-45
Dennis Kucinich (OH-10) 53-44
Mark Critz (PA-12) 51-49
Jason Altmire (PA-4) 51-49
Gerry Connolly (VA-11) 49-49
Ron Kind (WI-3) 50-47
Add to this the fact that many House seats will be moving from blue states to red states, and the GOP should be able to add a total of 10-20 seats from redistricting alone!

MI, NC, OH, PA, and VA are all already GOP gerrymanders, AZ is drawn by a nonpartisan commission.

The power of Gerrymandering.

Gerrymandering is dirty politics, but it’s all-pervasive across the American landscape. You who are reading this, right now, are likely to live in a gerrymandered congressional district. And you’re either happy with the arrangement, or blithely unaware and just don’t care. Because few people ever complain or even think about their district boundaries.

Is this the end of real democracy?

If the GOP controls those states, just change the law so we can throw the dems out.


Every single day that Obama spends in office causes the backlash continues to grow higher.
