- The census numbers | Michael Tomasky
So the new census numbers are out today, and politically, it's all good short-term news for the Republicans, because of the gains in the (grrrrr) South. Ezra Klein has a list, which actually comes from Dave Weigel, showing the number of House seats gained and lost by certain states:The gainers: Arizona +1Florida +2Georgia +1Nevada +1South Carolina +1Texas +4Utah +1Washington +1The losers:Illinois -1Iowa -1 Louisiana -1Massachusetts -1Michigan -1Missouri -1New Jersey -1New York -2Ohio -2Pennsylvania -1You can see that most of the gainers are GOP controlled, and most of the losers are Democratic-leaning states. And even the most heavily Republican state on the losers list, Louisiana, is losing its seat because of the post-Katrina exodus; in other words, it lost city dwellers, so the one heavily Democratic area of the state is the area that shrank.I should say that we don't yet seem to know exactly where these gains were inside these states. For example, if the Texas pickup is largely the result of Latinos, that may mean more Democratic seats in Texas. However, this will now give Texas 38 electoral votes next time around instead of 34, and those votes are certainly going to the Republican in 2012 .The way I count it, and I'm honestly not sure if I'm doing this right, based on these changes Obama is down 12 electoral votes from 2008 if every state votes the same. Right? States Obama lost gain six seats, while states he won lose six seats. Well, 12 is a lot. That's a problem. Of course he's starting from a rather large cushion. He got 365 electoral votes last time, and you're no less the president if you get 300 or 282 or even 270.Could it be that northerners are moving down south and changing the character of the place? Good God, let's hope so. That certainly seems to have 新しい年の国勢調査番号だから、今日からは政治的には、（grrrrr）南の利益のために、共和党のすべての良い短期的なニュースだ
