Although I am certain they are doing what they think is right, the responsible thing to do is show up and vote, even if they are going to lose. Representative democracy is not about whining if you don't get your way ("I'm not winning, so I'm taking my marbles and going home"); it is about voting for what is in the best interest of your constituents.
As I said in the other thread, running and hiding will ultimately hurt only one group of people: Democrats.
Of course, the redistricting plan facing the Texas Legislature will effect the US House of Representatives, which means that it could have an effect on everyone.
