Pretty Surprising

I wrote earlier in the week that gerrymandering (e.g., in California) is a huge problem and we'll need federal action to fix it. Well, I'm still quite sure that's right, but it looks like Ahnold has finally (somehow, impossibly) pulled together a coalition of politicians willing to shoot themselves in the foot in the name of principle! This is a good development. Looks like Pelosi, who has been a phenomenal disappointment (FISA expansion? Farm Bill? Great steaming heaps of time wasted on "sense of Congress" resolutions?) will, unsuprisingly, try to get in the way.
