You will notice that I specified "original plan" instead of adopted plan specifically to deal with Representative Turner's point. The original plan in 2001 was similar to the 1991 plan in its focus on placing two Republicans in the same district.

At each level the 2011 Republican plan is much fairer than any original plan devised by the Democrats over the last 30 years. If the Republicans had been close to as ruthless as the Democrats, there would be some very curious districts and fewer Democratic seats.

Let's not give the Republicans any credit for being "fair" or "reasonable" on the CD-5 maps. Everyone with a brain (and no that does not include Teabaggers) knows that if the GOP could have gotten away with slicing the district up, they would have done it.

Meanwhile, Jim Cooper continues selling out the 99% and helps fend off challenges from the left by putting more of Cheatham County in the district.
