As I noted in another thread on this board, Democrats enjoy structural advantages for the 2010 Congressional elections, but, Republicans have structural advantages in the 2010 state elections as:
A. There are more Governor seats held by Democrats up for election, and
B. More state legislative seats held by Democrats up for election.
So, while Republican gains in the Senate may be minimal and in the U.S. House relatively small, gains in Governors and state legislators will probably be substantial.
This is particularly significant for redistricting for the 2012 - 2020 elections (which is still done by the state legislatures in most states).
