This means, going into the November 6 races with Kentucky and Mississippi, the Democrats hold a 27-23 advantage in governor's mansions including the Louisiana flip. However, Kentucky will probably flip while Mississippi stays GOP, bringing the Democrats back to a 28-22 advantage. It will probably end up being 1-for-1 deal. You give me Louisiana and I'll give you Kentucky. Sounds like a Monopoly game of the states or something.
Mississippi and Louisana must be the two dark purple properties just after you pass GO.
I actually think they, along with Alabama, are more like the light blues before you get to the Jail (Oriental, Vermont, and Connecticut Aves.) I think Mediterranean and Baltic (the dark purples) are the Dakotas.
