The Texas House is now 76-74 GOP. Good grief. We’re losing ground in the suburbs at a rapid rate. By 2010, we could be a rural only party.
Obviously no state wide rat has carried a majority of districts in quite a while. The losses can be blamed on Perry/Craddick not any big ideological shift in the burbs, not in Texas (hope). Poor leadership and party infighting, if the rats have it (Illinois) they gain legislative seats, if the GOP has it, they lose seats.
Rats gains in Alaska can be attributed to the corrupt RINO wing of the party. Palin should forget about the Senate as some freepers have suggested and finish cleaning up her state.
