Awesome, Minnesota flipped back! That means we won't see the anti-gay marriage amendment again in 2013 or 2014, when IMO it would have a much better chance of passing (due to different turnout models in off years).
Also, NY Senate is not at all certain yet. Democrats won one race by only 140 votes, so that might change. The Democrat who defeated David Storobin has threatened to caucus with Republicans if he doesn't get a bunch of pretty unreasonable socially conservative demands. Plus it's always possible to buy someone off, like the Republicans did with Pedro Espada and his cohorts a few years ago.
Absentees usually favor Democrats in most parts of New York, so I am thinking thte Democrat will probably win that Albany area seat.
This just shows that there is only so much gerrymandering you can do to protect your majority. Democrats saw the same exact problem in Arkansas.
