7. I think we would be hard pressed to get very many of those seats

NY and CA almost certainly could supply some seats but certainly not the full 16. Upstate NY is very GOP and would have to have at least one seat probably 2. CA would also have to have a few seats, I am not familiar enough with them to know how many but the inland empire is quite Republican and also has quite a few people. I can't see a way, given that, that CA would have under 3 seats. MD has to have that one, the entire western half of the state is a GOP stronghold more like WV than MD. I can't imagine that either Oregon or WA being able to that without spoking Seattle and Portland making it all but impossible to elect liberal Democrats.
