These are incredible stats. Please post the source as I would love to shove this in the face of, err, umm, I mean show this to some of my co-workers.

You can find these stats at:

The 1st one I believe is the figures as of 1998, while the Newsmax article is from Aug. 12, 2000. You can also search for the article from Rich Galen in which he breaks-down the exodus since Clinton and Gore "were elected the poster boys of their party." A Google search under "439 Democrats" will also reveal more sources.

By the way, after reviewing state legislatures since 1992, this is what the Dems have lost:

1992-Dems controlled 25 state legislatures; GOP only controlled 8; 16 were split bodies. (Neb unicameral)

2003-Republicans control 21 legislatures; Dems control 16; 12 are split.

This is the largest advantage the GOP has had since 1952..and in total number of Democratic state seats lost, it appears to now be over 1200 since they've continued to lose seats through 2000, 2002 and 2003. Combine this with seats lost at the federal level (Senate, House and even Governerships) and the Clinton legacy continues to march on. It becomes much more obvious why liberals have become more shrill each passing year...and why the judiciary has become their last bastion of refuge as they obstruct at unprecendented levels: They haven't lost this much power since Reconstruction.
