[edit] Renaming this page, clarifying the Congress it refers to

This page has had several edits making the data refer partially to the congesses of two different elections, the 109th and the 110th and accurate for neither. I removed them. This problem will increase rapidly. It appears to be time to create a new page for the new congress for the new delegations, and to keep this for reference for the departing congess. Discussion?

It makes sense to have two articles, one for each congress. I would call them Partisan mix of congressional delegations, 109th congress and Partisan mix of congressional delegations, 110th congress, and make the current title into a redirect to the current congress (soon to be the 110th). Unless there is some other naming convention used by the WikiProject U.S. Congress.
Note that when we create the 110th congress article, the Democrats (as the majority party) will have to go on the top (so Massachusetts will be at the top) and the column headers redefined to be oriented from the Democratic Party POV (ie. Republican seat plurality will become Democratic seat plurality and so forth ). NoSeptember 23:39, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

This appears to be non-controversial. Can I interest you, NoSeptember in taking it on? - Yellowdesk 04:16, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

I was planning to, but figured I'd wait until the runoffs in early December are done, so there are no (or very few) undecided races left. I will move the history of this page to 109th, since the edits were concerning the 109th. NoSeptember 12:18, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
