Oh I think the majority-minority districting concept has created extremes in BOTH parties allowing for blacktivists and staunch Republicans. And it's not just the South, but the Midwest and Northeast as well. It seemed that in 2002 this scenario almost played out for the GOP in Southeastern Pennsylvania in that you have 2 far left Dems beholden to no one and every district around the city custom made for the GOP. Thankfully moderate Democrats eventually prevailed in districts once pegged for a GOP takeover by 2006, but still look at places like Columbus and even Cincinnatti. There should be at least one D district in both areas. Same could be said for parts of NJ as well being that all the Dems are thrown into NJ 1 yet the other 2 South Jersey districts are only marginally GOP.
