non-partisan

I wonder if the DLC will still be as vocal in supporting non-partisan districting http://www.dlc.org/ndol_ci.cfm?kaid=139&subid=900083&contentid=252625 after their recent electoral success, as Democrats now control the majority of the governerships. I suspect not. When was the last time you heard the Democrats and newspapers like the NY Times complain about the electoral college? Suddenly, the electoral college wasn't so bad after 2004 in which Bush handly defeated Kerry in the popular vote but narrowly won the electoral college.

If Democrats in states like New York and Illinois start pushing for more redistricting, Republicans should start advocating for non-partisan redistricting in those states and they should be able to dig up plenty of past Democratic quotes in support of such a plan.
