I keep hoping that Republicans, in their haste to redraw the districts and in their smugness over the issue, may have made a mistake. Seems like they overestimated the support of Hispanic voters in Texas.

Wouldn't it be delicious if they have spread themselves too thin, and actually don't gain any seats in Texas at all? Then all of this would be for naught. Couldn't happen to nicer folks.
