No (more) gay marriage.

Mr. Moderate must be thrilled.

Oh yes, I'd been clinking my glass all night long.

Don't hate.

Is there any site with the new seat numbers for each legislature somewhere? MSM sites don't have that.

But of course: http://www.ncsl.org/tabid/21253/default.aspx

This is probably the right answer here, because the 2011 elections will take place under a completely new set of lines.

My early prediction is this -- with Governor Christie's popularity what it is, we're probably looking at a relatively "status quo" election cycle, with GOP benefiting from a new-found ability to raise money and Democrats benefiting from being out of power (at least in Drumthwacket).

From there, it all depends on whether the independent commission draws a more favorable set of GOP lines. (The current set favors Democrats.) A few GOP-friendly line changes in Middlesex, Mercer, South Jersey could swing control of the chambers almost immediately.

The only significant states where the Dems had the trifecta in 2000 were Alabama, California (irrelevant, since they just did an incumbent protection map), Georgia (undone in 2005), Maryland, and North Carolina. The Republicans had Florida, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.

How in the world did they get that Indiana map past Republicans who had a say?

They didn't. Democrats held the trifecta in Indiana.

If you don't understand why New York would go incumbent protection, you don't know much of anything about the real way politics -- and people -- work. It's your own career first, your party and ideology second. Always has been, always will be.

Which districts in Mass and Indiana are undecided?

None in Mass. The recount in the Worcester district finished long ago, and the Republican won 6,587 to 6,586.

I believe that's correct.
