In a roundabout way, perhaps. Most inner-city districts are D+10+ and have to be expanded. Their reps can easily afford to take in some GOP precints in the burbs without any problems. However, high growth suburban districts are, on average, more marginal for the GOP. Depending on how lines are drawn, GOP reps, especially those who were just swept in this year, may find themselves in less friendly territory. If the Dems do get a boost from redistricting, it will be the big city pols with the seniority and clout.
