There are more state legislatures with a Republican majority (29 Republican vs 20 Democrat) and it’s 2014 yet.
‘not 2014’ yet
Aside from the legislatures that are Democrat for perpetuity (see what I listed above), you make the assumption that the Republican ones would magically elect Conservatives. Under repeal of the 17th, a state like Texas would NOT be sending a statesman like Ted Cruz. Indeed, they would be sending two imbecilic big government RINOs like Karl Rove (as a thank you to Dubya) and David Dewhurst, who attempted to buy the Senate seat out from under Cruz. If Texas would be sending two buffoons like that, what exactly do you think a state like, say, Alaska, would send ? No Sarah Palins, but Pork Kings looking to get as much loot for their states as possible.
