There's some really funny talk (wishful thinking) going on in local lib/dem circles these days. Some of the poor misguided (including, apparently the Houston Chronicle) have been deluding themselves (based on Tricky Nick Lampson's flukish win in 2006) that they might be able to return to the "glory" days some 20 years ago or so when dems ruled the area.Man, these folks are going to need some serious medication when this tidbit of info from Real Clear Politics reaches them: Population Shifts Toward GOP.
Of the ten fastest-growing (congressional) districts in America, not one cast their ballots for John Kerry in 2004. All but one, Rep. Nick Lampson's Texas 22 seat, are held by Republicans, and Lampson, some will argue, is only back in Congress because his opponent didn't have her name on the ballot. Lampson is a top target of House Republicans next year and looks to be in serious danger.
