This election could be the gift which keeps on giving
Thanks to Delay's behavior in Texas we could have some real fun if the elections go as we are expecting. In Ohio, we are almost assured of having control of redistricting. We only have to win 2 of the 3 races for Auditor, Governor, and Sec of State. We are up by double digits in all three. Thanks to the precedent set by Delay we could redistrict Ohio. A reasonable redistricting could get rid of LaTourette, Price, and one of Schmidt or Chabot. A more agressive redistricting could get rid of Gilmore and Oaxley.

In NC if we gain control of the court we could redistrict. Though if we win the two races we are favored to win I can't see any other seats we could gain.

In NY we could redistrict if we win the state Senate, though again voters may make that moot.

We could make 2008 the year we have a 80 seat majority in Congress and 2010 the year we increase that to 100.
