The election is over, and now the fun begins - redistricting.
You take the census numbers and try to create 11 districts across Virginia with nearly equal population. Problem one for Republicans - three members live very near each other in the southwest part of the state.
We know the 9th District will grow north and east - at least to pick up Morgan Griffith's home. But they've got to give Bob Goodlatte something in Roanoke and Robert Hurt something around Chatham.
I can't wait to see the new 9th.
Wonder if the Democrats will float a proposal with Griffith and Goodlatte in the same district? That would really be fun.
Another reason for Democrats to mourn losing so many races in 2009.
