What if Fitz game planned the end-game backwards, from the start? More after the fold.

The night before last I told my fiance while watching the late news that if they pass the war funding bill, they will lose me. I am a lifelong democrat and I'm tired of being branded a wimp. It's a very effective branding, and I'm powerless to stop it. I don't care about the calculations, I don't care that we don't have the votes. What the democratic party doesn't understand is that at certain times the important thing is principle and not calculations. I'm tired of the calculating party. It doesn't represent me. I was going to say that I'm full of impotent rage, but it's really not accurate upon deeper reflection. Really, I just feel sad, disappointed, and dejected. Unfortunately, I also feel resigned. I don't have some delusion that independents will somehow mount a credible challenge someday. But I have to live with myself and my own idea of principle. If the democratic party has a pathological drive to be wimps, so be it. I'm going to remove myself from that calculus.

How come nobody is talking about redistricting?

One of the first thoughts I had upon realizing it wasn't all just a dream, before Iraq, investigative authority, minimum wage, judicial appointment, and 2008, was redistricting. We won the Senate with about 10,000 votes in Virginia and Montana. Had the districts not been gerrymandered by Delay and Crew over the past 12 years, just imagine what our mandate would have been. The fact that we overcame it at all is still amazing to me.

Bottomline, we must roll-up our sleeves at the State and Federal levels and get to work on bringing those maps back to balance. This should be priority one in the background behind the media headlines and we need in the blogoshpere to start applying pressure now.
