JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – I’m sad to see Rep. Brad Miller, a smart liberal who was awfully good on banking issues, retiring due to North Carolina’s hyper-partisan redistricting. (Disclosure: Miller and I were on the same, victorious trivia team once in 2011.) The redistrict is designed to turn North Carolina, a 50-50 state in the last presidential election, into one that sends a 10-3 GOP-Democrat delegation to Congress.
