<DIV>Considered the pot stirred. I live in DC, or the NE corner of
D2. Contests in TN would be too far for me to get to. I do not know
about the rest of you, but driving more than 8 hours for an 'in district'
contest is not doable. It means getting back around 11PM sunday
night. Some of us have to get up at 0530 the next morning for work.</DIV>

<DIV>I have no idea how the D8 guys travel all that distance.</DIV>

redistricting</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>That's exactly the corrective action that will be accomplished
in District #2, but I suspect will probably be negative for District #5,
but I'm not planning to move there any time soon (VVBG).
