I covered this on another posting of this article. The fix news headline is alarmism. The bill has four sponsors with little info on how the rest of the dems feel. I'll be surprised if it passes committee, floored if it passes, and outraged if it survives constitutional muster.

A better headline: four state dems make empty gesture to pander to constituents.

Also: dems aren't 'over represented' in those cities, urban centers are consistently more democrat than their surrounding rural areas.

Oh, DirtDoc, I agree AND disagree. Of course this isn't going to happen this week. But I never would have thought it would happen in CA, either. In the mid-seventies I bought a Ruger 10/22 at a Kmart in the bay area, now the liberal stronghold in the state. Why couldn't the evolution of the population of MO create the same problem in time?

And, by "over-represented", I meant in relation to the rest of the state. Just look at the map of last year's presidential voting in CA. With the increase on size of the larger population centers we will see more state and federal representatives allocated to these areas, creating a bigger and bigger Dem voting block which could end up as a majority.

I watched this happen in CA, don't for one minute think it couldn't happen in MO, too. That's all I'm saying.

Wow...at least the DNC agenda is exposed in one state.
