1. There may be a silver lining in the redistricting battle.

Back when Jim Jordan's district looked like a duck, I read an article that stated that gerrymandering can backfire when a district suddenly changes demographics or disposition. Demographics is slower, but disposition can happen in a matter of months. The House is especially vulnerable cuz people are more willing to vote for the other party or not vote at all, since rep terms are only two years.

People's disposition is changing. Wait till Christmas when people see prices on things they haven't been looking at. A $20 watercolor paint set I was looking at jumped up $7 since I last looked a few weeks ago. ~gasp!
