That means Dems have to recapture all the state houses they've lost and then re gerry mander so they get win the House. A nearly impossible task. Likely the easier path on that is to pass anti-gerrymandering laws. Can't do. In the key states where that needs to be done, the Rs have a lock on the state legislatures. I don't disagree with you that its time to dismantle the largest financial institutions...........that would include Goldman Sachs too in my world view.............but I think we need to find a way to get Rs to cooperate in order to make it happen. R's cooperate? Oxymoron? LOL. This country is in big trouble. We are in decline. And its going to be very difficult to reverse it.

Redistricting only happens every 10 years, so no major changes until after Hillary is reelected. Next year will be interesting; lots of unpopular teabag governors up for reelection, at the top of the ballot. OTH, does Jerry Brown have long enuf coattails to beat Issa? A lot can change before Election Day next year, when 36 states will vote for governor. But at this early stage — when decisions on whether to run or retire are considered and made — 10 of the 32 governors who are eligible to run for re-election have net negative approval ratings in their states. fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com
