Is that so difficult? I don't think so

No it is not.

I am a woman with little, or no formal education who understands this stuff.

I am proud to say I understood so well that I planned and executed a campaign with little, or no help,(or money) except my candidate, and we took out one of the last democrats standing in Idaho.

He was a popular, 8 term democrat and I was told several times by republicans who supported him, it was impossible to beat him.

Maybe this is one of the 121 seats at the state level you predicted.

Thank you for your note. And thank you for your success in Idaho. (Senator Larry Craig is a longtime friend, and I have done gold mining near Loman.)

My estimate that was most wrong was the 121 seat gain in the legislatures. It looks like when all the dust settles, the recounts are finished, and a few more Democrats decide to become Republican, that the Repubs will have a slight gain there.

Repubs now have, after a long climb upwards, a slim majority of all the state legislative seats. But when you include Southern Democrats in the political equation, conservatives have a substantial majority in that group.
