"Growing Population Shifts Political Power"

[GreenPartyVoter]

WASHINGTON (AP) - Southern and Western states are growing so much faster than the rest of the country that several are expected to grab House seats from the Northeast and Midwest when Congress is reapportioned in 2010.

Demographers and political analysts project that Texas and Florida could each gain as many as three House seats. Ohio and New York could lose as many as two seats apiece.

Several other states could gain or lose single seats.

"The states in the Midwest are going through a transition," said Ohio GOP Chairman Bob Bennett. "We're going from a heavy manufacturing economic base to a more service-oriented base, and that transition has been very painful."

1. Stupid Bennett, must be a relative of Gambler Bill

The transition isn't so much from manufacturing to service as it is from work that pays to work that doesn't pay.

These people are idiots.
