Partisan move by Nixon. Of course the map favors Republicans-- Missouri is a Republican state. We earned our 6-3 majority in the house delegation, and our huge majorities in the state legislature in Democrat drawn districts. It's not the legislative Republicans' fault that 48% of the states Democrat voters are packed into just 3 jurisdictions.
When ultra-partisan idiocy reaches a certain frequency it turns into a sort of delightful - and almost post-modern - display of a very special kind of stupidity. There's something glorious about its sheer denseness; it's like those people who, every four years, are utterly convinced that England will win the World Cup, who festoon their cars, hours and (ultimately) faces in the St George's Cross, and who suspect anyone who's just a little sceptical of being borderline traitors. I love it!
