With Republicans likely to be formally in full control in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Virginia by this time next year (as well as Kentucky five years from now), does anyone see Arkansas also going Republican within this coming decade?  It is the only remaining southern state (with the possible exception of West Virginia -but no one is sure whether it is 'southern' or not) with Democrats still in full control of the legislature.

If Obama gets re-elected they'll be gone by 2016.

It's certainly possible. Right now the House is 55D - 44R. After being 72-28 the session before. The Senate is 20D - 15R after being 27-8. So they got destroyed in 2010. I imagine if they ever lose the majority they'll have so many party switchers they may never regain it.

West Virginia Democrats held up much, much better.
