The REALLY good Illinois site Capitol Fax opines that the Land of Lincoln's re-redistricting is "Not gonna happen:"
"There are far more benefits for Illinois with a cooperative Hastert than the Dems could ever get from a couple of extra seats in the US House (with the accompanying vengence by Hastert's people)...."
A good insight that doesn't really change my premise of yesterday: that redistricting in mid-decade, previously considered so brazen as to be unthinkable, is now looked at as one more weapon in Total War. From now on, any time a party takes full control of the process in a state, a re-map is a live possibility. Illinois isn't likely to reject the idea because That Would Be Wrong, but rather because of a calculated cost-benefit analysis of two seats vs. an angry Speaker Of The House.
