The once-in-a-decade redrawing of congressional districts is one of the main reasons why so many lawmakers will return to Washington _ and the first election after that politically driven process is typically a high point _ but redistricting isn t the only reason. The power of incumbency with its name recognition and cash advantage also is responsible.
