the only thing that could make this more entertaining is if michele bachmann saw her own congressional seat redistricted out of existence because of her anti-census rantings.
if this non-response trend in conservative areas continues, it won't be long before the GOP drops its historical opposition to the use of statistical sampling in the census count. once they realize that the undercount isn't dominated by minorities, i expect their tune will change pretty fast. but switching gears is a little harder now, thanks to their efforts to get the supreme court to rule against statistical sampling.
