Er, his district will be gerrymandered by the Republicans by 2012 anyway, right?

Yep, he's probably gone. His district now has the most Republican PVI in the state.

Yeah, NC-11 is now the most Republican.

Coble has a 55/44 McCain district now and McHenry and Foxx are each at 57/42. Poor Shuler is at 58/41 McCain...

I'd say the odds of Shuler leaving Congress are pretty even. His new district isn't totally unwinnable, but even if he won in 2012, he'd have to repeatedly fight for it.

With the extensive lawsuits, the word in NC is that the new map might not even be in effect until the 2014 elections...
