2010: The Year of the Tea Party
2010 was the year of the Tea Party. The grassroots conservative political movement made its clout felt the entire year, from the healthcare reform debate to GOP primaries and the general election last month. Senior Democrats, ranging from Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine to Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Chris Van Hollen (Md.), aggressively attacked the Tea Party in the lead-up to the midterms, hoping that doing so would soften losses to the GOP. House Minority Leader John Boehner (Ohio) and other Republicans embraced the movement, believing its energy would benefit their party at the polls. In the end, the Tea Party was in many ways a net asset for the GOP as Republicans grabbed control of the House and cut into the [...]

New York to Lose One or Two Seats in Congress
The Census Bureau will announce later this month that the New York Congressional delegation will shrink to the smallest it has been in 200 years, continuing to erode the state’s clout in Washington. The 435 seats in the House of Representatives are apportioned every decade on the basis of population. As a result of the steady tilt to the South and West, New York’s 29-member delegation will lose at least one seat and possibly two, continuing an inexorable slide that began after World War II. The loss of two seats appears to be a little less likely because migration from the Northeast lagged during the recession. Yet the loss of even one seat will make the New York delegation that convenes in 2013 the smallest numerically since 1810, when James Madison was president and [...]
