ultimately, it may be that when the democrats don't have the white house anymore at some point in the future or if more republican super pacs come in then some of the nightmares that the democrats had this past year might come true, where the money will just blow them away. >> some political professors that i revere and talk to from time to time tell me that because the democrats had the house for 40 years that the republicans want it for 40 years and the only way that they're ever going to have it is to make sure that they jury rig all the -- gerrymandering that they're doing to make sure they have a chance to do that. it's part of their long-term strategy. >> that's why local elections are so important. for anybody out there who says don't vote for the state representatives, i only vote for the presidential. the gerrymandering decisions, which come from in the 18th century it's a combination of eldridge jerry, who was the governor of massachusetts that drew maps that looked like salamanders.
