No one made that claim, and nothing to do with Pally's argument, but you still get credit for rebutting it. 

Actually, if one reads Pally's post she absolutely does say that.

Now, just hear me out.  If the GOP had 48% representation in the Ohio legislature, what party would constitute the other 52%?  The Green Party?  The Libertarian Party?  Or maybe, just maybe it would be the only other major party in the US, the Democratic Party.  I know majority and minority is causing you some consternation, but 52% is a majority.  So, yeah, Pally did say Ohio had a shot at being blue without gerrymandering.  Something you would have known if you read her post

If someone asks "How'd the game go last Saturday?" And someone else responds "27-17 Steelers," most would assume the steelers won.

In post # 712 Pally writes:

If redistricting was true to the intent of Ohio's laws, the statehouse would be approximately 52%-48% Republican.  The Ohio House is 68% Republican and the Senate is 78% Republican.  A legit redistricting would have ended up with multiple contestable seats which generally forces candidates to the center.  
I'm not saying even a smaller majority would have changed the outcome on multiple bills but give voters a legitimate shot at deciding the victor instead of the district deciding it
Looks to me like she says the statehouse would be 52% Republican WITHOUT gerrymandering. The "smaller majority" she refers to is 52% Republican down from 68/78% Republican. (What did you think "smaller majority" referred to?) With that 52%, voters would be more likely to decide a bill than current districting allows. I.e., they would have a "better shot" at deciding the outcome of "multiple bills," not making Ohio blue. (Or what did you think she meant by reference to the the "outcome" of "multiple bills"?) 

That's my summary of her argument. If I misunderstood her I'll bet she lets me know. 

Still looks to me like you misread Pally, and rebutted a claim no one made.
