Permanent Republican Majority [View all]

Let's face it. Congress and State Legislatures have a stranglehold after Democrats and Obama voters failed to support the President in the 2010 mid-terms.

With the massive gerrymandering scheme they've put in place, how many election cycles (2 years) will it take us to undo their hold on America.

Keeping in mind that even with President Obama's coattails generating a plurality of votes in the millions, we barely made any gains, and that gerrymandering will be even worse in 2014.
