GOP picked up about 15 state House seats in Texas, basically every seat they lost over the past 6 years.  Exact totals tomorrow.

Oh and Solomon Ortiz Jr. lost, which is an interesting parallel.

Dems will be back in Arkansas.  Be patient.  Just maybe not while Obama is at the top.

And in Illinois, the Combine wins once again.  Things are as they always are.  Heck, even the GOP took back the suburbs. lol...

Brown had a larger margin of victory than Sandoval right next door.  Didn't expect that at all.

     CA & NV were both strong points for the Democrats. Harry Reid pulled through, contrary to the suggestions of most polling.

I think we pretty much have to consider NV a blue state now.  Colorado has probably moved into the lean Dem column as of this election and it is rapidly turning blue.

I tend to agree.  Both of these states are becomming part of the Democratic firewall. 

Hopefully New Mexico will eventually come along for the ride, but the last elections were a setback. The Republicans did pick the best possible candidate for Governor there though.

New Mexico was never going to pick a Dem gov after Richardson.

Thompson concedes to Grisanti in SD-60 in NY.  So we're left with the Opppenheimer (Dems ahead by 325) and Johnson (GOP ahead by 431) races and the total is GOP 31, Dems 29.

This may be the one place in NY where Paladino being on the top of the ticket helped (the district is Buffalo city and part of Niagara and is very far from being a GOP district).  Of course, maybe it was because Thompson is a real idiot.  Who knows.
