Divided government still rules in the nations capital after last weeks Tuesdays vote, but unity is increasingly the name of the game in cities such as Annapolis, Topeka, Concord and Little Rock.
In a little-noticed footnote to last weeks election, state legislature elections this year have produced the highest number of states with one-party rule in 60 years. Democrats or Republicans now have sole control of the governorship and both legislative chambers in 37 state capitals around the country.
According to the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL), which tracks party representation in the countrys 50 state governments, Democrats now control all three bases of power the governorship and both houses of the state legislature in 14 states and Republicans in 23, with only 12 states sharing power. (Nebraskas unicameral legislature is considered nonpartisan.)

I think one should include the status of the State’s US Senators.
Congratulations! If you can do that in spite of the Soviet cities, then there is hope for the rest of the nation.
Yep, two counties controlled by Soviet urban centres. The rest of the state has common sense.
Not quite. Levin and Spenditnow are near Marxists.
I really don't understand how a state that is RINO/TP centric can keep sending these two to DC to represent the interests of the state peeps or the State gov't.
What has Canada ever done to you? They are generally individually nice and very polite, why would you dump all our garbage in their lap.
I'd think something along the lines of a second Chicago fire or a new SF earthquake (to include LA) would do the job.

I’m not an expert on Canadian history but I think many of the early English speaking settlers in what is now Canada came from the New England states. It’s possible Ottawa and Quebec would welcome our big cities with open arms.
