2. I'm either in the 13th or the 4th still
Can't be sure without a more detailed map. It seems we are on the new boundary between 13th and 4th.

I was looking at this one:

It looks like they really want to break up the big blue block that is Orange/Durham. :-(

You can get more info here:

http://www.ncga.state.nc.us/gis/randr07/District_Plans/PlanPage_DB_2011.asp?Plan=Rucho-Lewis_Congress_1&Body=Congress

under "Statewide by District and VTD" click PDF beside "2010 Election Returns"

Then search for your VTD = Precinct

Some precincts get split, and there's a bit of info available on that too

3. Me too!! I may have to move.
He is really disliked----check out: http://republicansagainstpatrickmchenry.com/

Rep. Patrick McHenry called Elizabeth Warren a liar at the conclusion of a House Oversight subcommittee hearing that had already consisted mainly of Republican members of Congress getting very basic information about Warren's Consumer Financial Protection Bureau completely wrong.

Here are some other highlights concerning this "person":

In August of 2007, McHenry raised a minor amount of attention when he mocked a $20 per month tax credit proposed in a Democratic energy bill for persons who commute via bicycle

Indictment of former campaign staffer for election law violation

Calling Green Zone Security Guard a "Two Bit"

Accused of endangering soldiers in Green Zone in Iraq

Using PAC funds to defend accusations of Election Fraud

Connections with Countrywide Mortgage Scandal

Name calling in 2008 Race against Daniel Johnson

5. Good news is
I'll have either David Price (who I have now) or Brad Miller if we get switched to the 13th.

I wonder though, when DP will retire. He's getting up there.

8. Brad's gone
I hate it, too. He's great. But Person County (where I am unfortunate enough to live at the present), though overwhelmingly registered "Democratic", is in fact a Teakkklanner hell. In 2008, the citizenry voted for all Dem candidates EXCEPT president (which tells you what you need to know). Last year's election, they were all TKKK all the time. Sigh.

9. I've moved from David Price to the lady hack who holds Ethridge's seat.
I don't need to know her name, so don't tell me.

11. Supposedly.
Although it's not overwhelmingly so, but still has the right lean.
