I'm not a political buff but this news may be good news for Republicans: NY is growing at a very slow clip (3.2%) while states like Texas have added more than 3.9 million residents during the 2000s.This means Texas will perhaps get 3 more seats in the house while Ohio would lose two House seats. Losing one each would be Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts , Michigan, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. States gaining one seat would be: Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, South Carolina, Utah and Washington. It's interesting to read older articles about the current census and perhaps in retrospect NY did better than expected? It would seem that the current census will give the GOP an edge that it so desperately needs to turn things around. One can only hope...

Interesting stuff. Who is the author of this blog? Is it supposed to be anonymous?
