Kentucky 2015 - Predictions and Results Thread

[Frodo]

With the governor's mansion (and other statewide offices) under their control, state Republicans will aim all their resources at taking the Kentucky House next year.

Will they succeed?

Here's the current breakdown of the state legislature:

Senate:

Republicans: 27
Democrats: 11

House:

Republicans: 46
Democrats: 54

A parting message from the outgoing Auditor (and one-time Senate hopeful) Adam Edelen to the Kentucky Democratic Party:

Get used to being in the minority.  

Or words to that effect.

Once Republicans get full control over redistricting in Kentucky in time for the 2020 census, how low will Democrats go in the legislature once all is said and done? Should we be looking at their counterparts in Tennessee as a hint of their bleak future?  

Here is where Kentucky Democrats currently stand:

Kentucky House:

Democrats: 50
Republicans: 46
vacancies: 4

Kentucky Senate:

Democrats: 11
Republicans: 27

And here is a peek at the Tennessee legislature:

Tennessee House:

Democrats: 26
Republicans: 73

Tennessee Senate:

Democrats: 5
Republicans: 28

Is Tennessee the future of the Kentucky Democratic Party?
