1. That's Done State by State...
... Shelley Moore Capito in WV is vulnerable, if the Democratic Legislature and Democratic Governor there redraw lines.

2. Well, the balance of power in Texas did not change, so: doubtful.
Republican governor and legislature, dontcha know.

4. Likely not in Texas...

Since, unfortunately, Perry was re-elected as gov. there (and, as RICHARDO noted above, they've still got the legislature, too).

However, in some OTHER states...:eyes:

Seriously, though, if we did THIS well in spite of all their gerrymandering...and Nick Lampson DID take Delay's old seat...we probably don't need to!:D

:kick:

B-)

5. No, the gerrymandering worked well for them yesterday.
Between that and Kinky and Strayhorn they've kept a firm strangle hold on Texas.
