Re: Ripon: While driving to Lake Michigan in June, we stopped for gas in Jackson, Mich. The Shell station was right next to a sign that said: "Birthplace of the Republican Party." Perhaps this was the birthplace of the McCain faction of the Republican Party. Or the Harold Stassen faction. Ha ha ha.

Good news from Michigan: Meanwhile, the congressional redistricting plan is likely to shift Michigan's delegation in the U.S. House from 9-7 Democratic to 9-6 Republican. Michigan loses one seat in Congress because Census figures showed a lack of growth. freepress.com That alone is a shift of five seats in favor of the GOP, from 2 down to up three. You'll find similar shifts in Texas, Pennsylvania and Florida. I don't see anything comparable on the Dem side, especially since most of the states with growth are in GOP areas. In FL, at least one east coast Dem that was prominent in the Gore election stealing effort will lose a seat, as the GOP west coast is growing and the east is in decline. Gov Bush and legislature will see to that. They will also create at least three new GOP seats. In Texas the GOP could gain as few as three seats or as many as five, while the Dems lose seats. Pennsylvania looks good for two more GOP seats and the loss of one or two Dem seats, a net of at least three GOP seats.
