Christopher Ingraham "Rather, it's to give your opponents a small number of safe seats, while drawing your self a large number of seats that are not quite as safe, but that you can expect to win comfortably".
Mr. Ingraham states that politicians prefer to allow their party to get the votes of small compact cities rather than large cities with many little parts that have their own government politics. In the article Ingraham describes the gerrymander which are consider to be solid and give one vote in all. In the other hand is the one they say have tentacles. I will call it "The Octopus" because it has the large government and then the borders have sub governments that don't help in the cause of electing the president. In this case is better to have a state with a simple representation rather than one with many sub-representations. allowing the opponent with a solid vote and a positive outlook to win.
Now I understand why Hillary was loosing in 2008, to Former President Barack, Obama. Many states believe females are not a good representation as chief of state. American's opted to have an African American president before a female, leaving the question if Americans are ready to leave that feminism aside.
