Is it really that big of a deal? I was under the impression that the Twin cities functioned like the DFW Metroplex in that they're just two urban areas of a larger metro. Is there some kind of blood feud between the two cities?
Also, such a move might actually help the Democrats out. It pushes the other Democratic-leaning parts of the 4th and 5th districts into the other suburbs, which could result in 3 Democratic-controlled Twin Cities districts rather than the current 2. In fact, it would basically guarantee Bachman's defeat as her district would have to take in the non-St. Paul portions of Ramsey county, which should push her district to at least D + 5.
