	JOHN PARKER HALE - LoveToKnow Article on JOHN PARKER HALE
		1843-1845 he was a Democratic member of the national House of Representatives, and, though his earnest co-operation with John Quincy Adams in securing the repeal of the gag rule directed against the presentation to Congress of anti-slavery petitions estranged him from the leaders of his party, he was renominated without opposition.
		In the election which followed Hale ran independently, and, although the Democratic candidates were elected in the other three congressional districts of the state, his vote was large enough to prevent any choice (for which a majority was necessary) in his own.
		The election resulted in the choice of a legislature controlled by the Whigs and the independent Democrats, he himself being chosen as a member of the state House of Representatives, of which in 1846 he was speaker.

	Public Interest Guide to Redistricting
		In contrast to congressional redistricting, where Democrats are at the mercy of a process totally controlled by the GOP majorities in Harrisburg, legislative redistricting is the responsibility of a bipartisan five-member commission.
		Mike Veon, D-Beaver, a key Democratic strategist in the process, said the panel was working its way around the state's districts, with rough agreement already in place on the shape of the legislative map in the northeast, central and northwest sections of the state.
		Democrats, unhappy with a redistricting plan that would eliminate the seat of state Sen. Leonard Bodack, are equally unhappy with an alternative plan hatched by Senate Republicans.

	CNN.com - Nader could be spoiler, some Democrats say - Feb. 22, 2004
		The two leading Democrats left in the race for the White House were campaigning Saturday in some of the big states ahead on the primary calendar -- while Ralph Nader's scheduled appearance on a Sunday morning news show was giving Democratic strategists a bit of heartburn.
		Democrats who fear he could siphon off enough votes to tip the election to President Bush have been trying to talk him out of it.
		But many Democrats are convinced he tipped the election toward Bush because the president's margin of victory in two states -- Florida and New Hampshire -- was smaller than the number of people who voted for Nader.

		Democrats blame him for robbing Al Gore of vital votes that cost him the 2000 election.
		For Democrats, people like Adam Tebrougge, 42, a lawyer who has been active in the Sarasota Democratic Party but is now supporting Nader, are a deeply worrying sign that their plans to eliminate Nader have hurt only themselves.
		Even when denied a place in the debates, his campaign is a thorn in the Democrat side in several swing states, and in an election that could be decided by a few closely fought contests, even a small thorn can be fatal.
