Nice to see some pick-ups even during a lousy cycle.
Yeah considering the GOP utterly failed to pick up ANYTHING in 2006.
Of course, the Dem gains in 2006 were smaller than the Republican gains will be this year. They only picked up six governor's mansions, while the Republicans will likely pick up a dozen or so.
A dozen? Extremely doubtful.
I thought so at first too but it's actually not. Kansas, Tennessee and Wyoming are gone for sure and there's a greater than 90% chance at losing Oklahoma and Iowa too. Republicans have clear leads in Maine, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin and Michigan. New Mexico and Maryland are toss-ups and California and Oregon are competitive as well. So that's five gone for sure with another six in the likely category and another four that could still go either way. A dozen isn't out of the realm of possibility at all.
EDIT: Damn it Johnny.
