I think I'm echoing Ed's point above, but here goes: <br /> <br />Most Amtrak heavy states are allready represented by Dems. Therefore, no Republican losses there. <br /> <br />Most states w/o Amtrak are Republican, so no loss there. <br /> <br />Those states with some Amtrak and some Republicans? I don't think Amtrak has enough riders for anyone to care. The Unionized employee base is probably allready 80% Dem, and not enough travellers will be inconvenienced. <br /> <br />Most people will probably, (wrongly) cheer it on, because that's one less train that the gates on the highway have to go down for.
