Redistricting favoring big cities?

So Cleveland is even worse off than Detroit?

Sprawl in Atlanta is so bad that the two black majority districts will probably end up being roughly the same size as Newt Gingrich's old seat. Even the black areas are sprawly messes.

Something I was thinking about a few days ago is that Cynthia McKinney haters should be quite thankful she represented a middle-class suburban black district instead of inner-city Atlanta. She could easily still be around if she was from that district. The fact that that district elected the very respectable John Lewis and McKinney's elected her for so long is quite odd compared to the pattern of where the craziest black reps tend to be come from.

Of course in South Florida now you have the slums electing a classy lady with great taste in fashion and the middle-class suburban black neighborhoods electing a guy who was impeached by the same body he now serves in.
