Reply #12: But the 10th has been easier for the Democrats than [View All]

the 6th, 8th, and 13th. That is the seat that should be tinkered with. Force Kirk into a primary against Biggert, Hyde, or Weller.

I do think that they would be doing the right thing if they made an entire district out of DuPage County. With population of 912,000 it can hold one seat entirely within its borders. Then spread out the other 300,000 residents to the other districts. Personally I would give them to Crane. Then I would try to force Hyde and Weller and/or Kirk into the same district.

I would also then try to extend a seat from the suburbs to the city of Chicago. I would probably try to take some of the precincts in Jesse Jackson's district and link them to a suburban district.
