GOP Could Benefit From 2010 Redistricting
The Hill says that the 2010 census could help the GOP on "their long road back to the majority" in the House. The census "could add multiple House seats to red-leaning states - as many as four districts to Texas and two each to Arizona and Florida. And it could subtract seats from blue-trending states like Michigan, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania." The Hill adds, "Most of the states slated to gain seats in reapportionment next cycle feature Republican-controlled state legislatures and governor's mansions - the powerhouses that decide how to allocate congressional districts."

this could put it back to what it normally is with the majority one party and the president another party. It would make a lot of those bills that Obama wants to get threw the the congress a lot harder to becoming laws
