Bump.
After 2016
Obviously an ugly picture for Democrats. Hopefully they're targeting statehouses in addition to governorships in Wisconsin, Michigan, Maine, New Hampshire(!!!), and Arizona.
(I want to say Florida and Ohio too, but those maps are too far in the Republicans' favor even if Democrats win the governorships in those states next year.)
Democrats (and Republicans) should be targeting state houses in WAY more states than that, IMO. Anywhere where there is friction, swoop in and save the day. Whether it's Arkansas or Maryland, Democratic policies can be implemented at the local level, even if the state candidates have to barely resemble the national party. Same thing with Republicans making gains in somewhere like VT.
