2s, Just what I guess I always was going to rebid after 2clubs by opener. :)

Why else did I bid 1nt and not pass one spade?

Partner implies a balanced hand for the pass of 1N, so he rates to have some diamond cards. Redouble is pointless, may lead to confusion, and we don't have a heart fit anyway.

I can assure you that redouble will be understood by partner.

You can, but you KNOW spades are breaking badly.

2D. Why show the reds and get to hearts opposite 3-2? Or even 3-3 with good hearts.

That's good, because it's not obvious to me what redouble should mean.

Playing semi-forcing (or forcing) 1NT response, I think redouble is strong.

I bid 2D. As others have said, partner is likely to be balanced.
