Democrat? In my 11th district? Not bloody likely.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NJ-11

It was represented by a Democrat until '85, and we're resetting back to the early '90s.

Prior to a redistricting in the early 1980s, the 11th was centered in Essex County and the Congressional seat was held by Democrats for over 40 years. The redistricting shifted the focus of the district to heavily Republican Morris County. As a result, in 1984 Republican Dean Gallo defeated 22-year incumbent Democrat Joseph Minish. Since then, the district has been one of the most reliably Republican districts in the Northeast. The Democrats have not made a serious bid for the seat since Minish's defeat.

Imagine a Republican representing San Francisco, it's about equivalent.

Umm...Congressional districts don't matter?

Does it really matter?

No, just OCD.
