We've Been Praying For The Nation, Haven't We?

With the release of the US Census Bureau's new population projections for the next quarter century, the political implications are "interesting, though not surprising," according to the OpinionJournal site of the Wall Street Journal.

Go to their site and look for their post titled "Red Tide." They have an Excel table there which I can't post here but says it all in one look.

Here's a quote:
The Associated Press says this is bad news for the most liberal region in the country: "New England stands to lose about 20 percent of its congressional seats over the next quarter-century as political power follows population booms in the South and West." The fastest-growing New England state is New Hampshire, at No. 15, followed by Vermont (23), Maine (32), Massachusetts (33), Rhode Island (34) and Connecticut (38).
