A lot of ink has been spilled trying to handicap the House, Senate, and Gubernatorial elections. One of the important things about a wave election is that it usually has a down the ticket affect in boosting the victorious party in state legislature and other statewide elections. I figured that I would begin today by researching where things stand in the race to control the state's attorney general offices. In the coming days we will focus on the races for control of state legislatures and offices of Secretary of State.
While these elections are not quite as important as the congressional races, the positive news concerning the lawsuit against ObamaCare illustrates the vitality of this position. Just observe how Virginia AG Ken Cuccinelli is taking on the left on such issues as ObamaCare, global warming, and immigration. These issues in particular will be fought primarily in the states over the next few years and it is imperative that we gain control of as many AG offices as possible. Furthermore, these positions serve as great breeding grounds for future farm teams of conservatives who will be able to run for higher office.
Currently, 32 of the 50 state AG's are Democrats. That needs to change and hopefully it will. This cycle, there are 30 AG's up for election (a few others are appointed by the Governor) and the Democrats are defending 19. Based upon other statewide polling and the prominence of the challengers, it appears that the GOP is in good position to hold all of 11 offices that they are defending, but the Democrats are facing the possibility of losing a bunch of their incumbents. Here are some of the Dem seats that we might win:

Whoever wins this election gets to redraw the borders, and a lot of Dem AG’s and statehouses are going to switch to R this year.
I’ll be doing a post on Sec. of states next week. Keep in Mind that Soros started an organization to elect rat Sec.of states so they can steal elections.
