Kramer underestimates Carville and the Dem's Dark horse theory. As avowed republican I can state that if Carville was to take the reigns of the Democratic party we would be looking at an entirely different scenario. Carville could tear Rove up in no time. JMHO

The Democrats are beyond pathetic. Poor Jim. He can't get the Public outraged over what outrages him. The party has tried his points, and got nowhere with them.

Everybody wants to get into the redistricting act. That means more and more yummy Republican Congressmen! Deciding Where to Draw the Lines By Juliet Eilperin Wednesday, August 20, 2003; Washington Post Ohio Republicans may take a cue from state legislators in Texas and Colorado and tinker with the lines that shape their congressional districts. Ohio Democrats emerged unscathed from redistricting after the 2000 census when district lines were redrawn to reflect changes in population -- even though the GOP controlled the entire process. The reason? Republicans did not want to anger Rep. Sherrod Brown (D), who threatened to run against Gov. Bob Taft if his district was changed. Now some Republicans are looking at carving up northeast Ohio, which would reshape the seats of Brown, Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich (D), and possibly other House members. "I've seen some plans floating around to do some line adjustments," state GOP Chairman Bob Bennett said. Brown said the new effort is a White House ploy to expand the GOP's majority in the House. "The question is: How partisan do they want to look in one of the key states in a presidential election?" he said. "There will be a political price to pay for them. That's not a threat; it's an observation." Bennett said the idea of redrawing the state's congressional lines was sparked by local Republicans who feel marginalized, not by Bush administration officials, though he added that he "might have said something to Karl Rove" about the plan. washingtonpost.com
