The Republicans Will Hold Onto The House in '06

Many pundits of both stripes are predicting that the Republicans will lose the House of Representatives in 2006. They cite numerous polls showing voter anger, unhappiness with the war, etc.

Mark my words: none of this matters. The reason it does not matter is that the House Republicans (and Democrats, too, for that matter) have gerrymandered themselves so completely that it's going to be hard for any incumbent (or incumbent party) to lose a seat, much less that many. All analysis of "close races" and the like don't matter. The Republicans are at greater risk of losing the Senate (and everyone agrees that's not much risk) as, thus far, no one has figured out how to gerrymander Senate districts.
