Will Democrats ever regain a majority of governorships again?

The big year for the GOP was actually back in '98.  They took quite a few that year.  The answer to the OP's question is probably "yes".  However, one thing working in the GOP's favor is that the majority of those races happens during the midterms and not the presidential years.  Thus, turnout is down and we know that helps Republicans.  You think the GOP would have won some of the mansions they did this year with turnout up in a presidential year and where the blue states would have supported the Democratic presidential candidate by large margins (i.e. IL, MD, etc)? I think not.

That also helps to explain why the Republicans continue to fail to win the statehouse in a state like WA despite putting up some decent candidates in recent cycles.
