We often forget that this election will really determine who stays in power in certain districts for the next 10 years. If there was ever need for a constitutional amendment, drawing district lines is something that needs to be reformed. COngressional districts should represent actual communities. They should not be designed to keep people in power.

4. The most bllatant example is Michele Bachmann's district

in Minneapolis. How in the world do you think an ass like her keeps on winning. A lot of the people in her district not republicans are so fed up with her the are thinking of moving. She has the worst record of foreclosed homes, unemployed and lost of jobs and she doesn't want the government stimulus and for the federal aid they are giving. People are crazy.

5. She is the norm

Most districts keep someone in power.. rather democratic or republican.
