Well, there are multiple ways to skin the cat, but generally it's the opposite. The GOP will concede the city in order to win everything else. Democrats want city voters to carry multiple districts. GOP wants them to win one district.
http://forums.macresource.com/read.php?2,2008600,2008627 Nate Cohn of the New York Times’ Upshot has written that while partisan gerrymandering has indeed given Republicans an edge in holding the House of Representatives, the deeper problem is that Democrats are highly concentrated in densely populated urban and suburban districts, like those in and around Philadelphia and Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania. By contrast, Republicans are, as a general rule, more evenly distributed across the map, which allows them to win more rural Pennsylvania districts with smaller margins. Slate’s David Weigel has replied, reasonably enough, that there is an easy workaround to the fact that Democrats like to live cheek-by-jowl: simply carve up the cities in which they live and parcel them out across different congressional districts that also include less densely populated Republican territory. But this approach seems like just another way to institutionalize unfairness. If we wind up with pizza-slice districts that distribute Democrats into a larger number of heterogeneous districts, Republicans will complain that their voices have been squelched.
http://archive.sltrib.com/story.php...3-90/areas-committee-county-district.html.csp In its long-awaited final decision on how to draw new congressional districts, the Legislature's Redistricting Committee on Tuesday served up a "pizza slice" plan — which would slice Salt Lake County into three pieces and combine them with large rural areas. That has Democrats and reform groups howling that the map is designed to dilute Democratic votes in their one stronghold of Salt Lake County, and improve chances that Republicans can win all four of the state's congressional seats next year.
That sounded like a quote from a porn version of Forrest Gump. So your moniker in the mac forum is Filliam H. Muffman? Cool!
Not the opposite. Democrats want donuts, the holes are the inner city, the donut is the suburbs. Homogeneous. That way, minorities actually get to elect minorities.
Donut hole shaped pizza? Huh? Aren't donut holes spherical? Wouldn't 'Ritz cracker' be a better choice than donut hole? barfo
