A review of election defeats, resignations and retirements shows that of the 30 Democratic senators in early 2009, 19 of them are no longer in the Senate or won't return after this year. In the House, 37 of the 68 Democrats in 2009 either are already gone, announced they won't seek re-election in 2012 or will be at home. Some won't return in 2013 because they'll lose to a fellow incumbent in the May primary. Others may not win in November. The candidate filing period begins Monday.



Wow. They got owned.

The Democrats were pretty stupid to not have just changed the law to give the Governor veto power over redistricting plans when they had the chance. Even if it was shameless and partisan there's no denying that court-drawn maps would've been far more fair than the abominations that were passed.

It's a constitutional provision, not a law.
