I noticed that, too.

I was watching on-line and my feed was messing up, so I wasn't able to see if she was in the family group after the speech.

If the population shifts 12% to the current, large states away from the middle, a few states could have 270 among themselves.

California, Texas, New York, IL, - the big states - could have 270 based on current apportionment. In 22 years (two more deciannual censuses) - its a mathematical possibility.
Based on the last census, the larger states are losing population, if I recall correctly. Thus you take a 'traditional' electoral map and it starts to put more states in play that had previously been non-issue states. But, should be interesting because there is definitely population shifts going on right now and it shall be interesting to see what the next census shows.

What happens when everyone moves forward? Who carries the load?

My next hope is for Bachmann to lose. She is winning by only a few hundred votes.

Won't happen. We will spend and won't tax. Insanity. Or suicide.
