Perpetual Gerrymander: The next shot is fired

Perpetual Gerrymander: The next shot is fired

And this time Democrats are shooting back:

In retaliation for similar Republican efforts in other states, two Democratic U.S. representatives are pitching the idea of redrawing congressional districts in Illinois, illustrating a growing partisan split among a once-collegial congressional delegation.

U.S. Reps. Rahm Emanuel, of Chicago, and Jan Schakowsky, of Evanston, want Democrats to hold a larger number of seats in a state with a Democratic General Assembly and governor and that backed Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry in the last election...


State-side politics may head this off - but it's one more step in the escalating Total War. Anything once regulated solely by tradition and collegiality is now fair game.
