Gubernatorial Results Thread

I do hope (I can't analyze since I don't know MN all that well) that Pawlenty maintains his small lead and is reelected. He's basically the last thing standing against the total demolition of the GOP in the Northeast/Upper Midwest, especially since Talent lost ...

The GOP still controls state legislatures in Ohio and Missouri, and split it in some other states.

Accorrding to NCSL, Dems picked up the following:

Iowa House and Senate
Minnesota House
Michigan House
New Hampshire House and Senate
Oregon House
Wisconsin Senate
Indiana House

The GOP still controls state legislatures in Michigan, Ohio, and Missouri right?

... and the NY state senate

I'm inclined to argue that it doesn't really matter, as far as Congress goes, since when redistricting rolls around, the Democrat governors will have a veto over any GOP incumbent-protection district the state legislatures come up with.

Do governors elected in 2006 get to be involved in redistricting for 2010? Or does it go over to 2011? I can't tell because in 2000, the key year was obviously 1998.

New Hampshire House and Senate

First time in 100 years! Democrats absolutely dominated in NH today.

According to the Boston Globe, the GOP now has the least seats in the Massachusetts legislature since 1867.
