Do the mappers hate Lipinski or did they (more likely) run out of Democratic-leaning areas to give him?

As was said previously, the move makes the seat safer for Lipinski in a primary, not for Democrats in a general.

Also, Lipinski can afford to have a less Democratic CD, with his voting record and ethnic ties. (The other Chi. reps would be concerned about having to moderate if their CD's became less than D+10). And even if Lipinski leaves, that CD would still at lean D in most years.

Has anyone seen the Kerry/Bush results? These would be a better measure in Illinois.
