Preparing To Scuttle The Ship

Well, it looks like the Ohio republican party is beyond running scared, they're preparing to scuttle the ship. With the threat of losing control of the Apportionment Board that draws Ohio's voting districts, Jon Husted has now decided that politics should be taken out of the equation.

Kind of funny, this is the same thing the republicans fought tooth and nail last year. I guess realization has set in. However, they do need a super majority to get this on the November ballot, so there might be some strange bedfellows in this fight, with safe seaters on both sides of the aisle having to cope with possible tough elections in the future.

Of course, as with any republican legislation, the devil is in the details, and we haven't seen any details. I'm very much for this type of legislation as long as competitiveness is the number one factor in drawing the districts. If it's written any other way, I'm dead against it.
