Yeah, but... the *area* hasn't elected a Democrat since sometime in the
1800s. The 23 District moves around. At one time it was part of
Manhattan.

Fine - 1979 to 1983 which was the last time it was "stable".

And it's always been called the 23rd.

So there. Neener, neener, neener. :)

I mean seriously - yeah but? It works both ways. :)

I used to be in Maryland's 8th Congressional district. But, the
Democrats in Maryland wanted to get Chris Van Hollen elected to Congress
so the redistricted Connie Morella out and my area got put into the 4th
Congressional district. We didn't move, we just got redistricted from a
majority Republican district to a majority Democrat district.
Gerrymandering of Congressional districts is State House sport that
occurs every 10 years. Elections do matter.

Boxer gets elected because it is San Francisco. Pelosi, because she runs as
a Democrat.

I just heard Carly Fiorina announced she's running against Boxer.

I'll have you know, that I do *NOT* live in San Francisco. I live in San
Jose. The only time I ever go up there is when we have out of town guests,
and they insist on a visit.
