Republicans focus on what is important.

MyDD's Jonathan Singer:
"Congressional Republicans, led by GOP Rep. Tom Davis of Northern Virginia, are pushing a plan to hand the District of Columbia a seat in the House of Representatives in exchange for also giving Utah another seat, temporarily pushing the size of the House to 437 seats. In theory, this plan would be party-neutral, as DC would elect an extra Democrat and Utah would elect an extra Republican. But according to Glen Warchol of The Salt Lake Tribune, Utah Republicans are attempting to shut the state's Democrats out of the redistricting process with, perhaps, the intention of making it impossible for Democratic Congressman Jim Matheson to win reelection."
