To put it in perspective, 1994’s GOP wave picked up 472 seats.
Too bad gerrymandering/packing doesn’t help the Senate races.
In a sense, this is even better news than the House gains.
Real change will come at the state and local levels.
A return to Federalism starts with the states
Wow, they must have made gains in all 57 states.
Awesome stuff. People are getting involved and running. And winning. : )
The good news is that this came in the year 2010 a redistricting year. The 1994 wave was not in a redstricting year and gave the RATS a chance to improve their prospects. Not this time around. Hahahahahahahaha.
The Obama/Reid/Pelosi agenda decimated the Democrat party and it is not over. We will gain more House and Senate seats plus the Presidency in 2012. Now let’s get to work team!
Power is evolving back to the states where it belongs.
How many states, besides California, have unified control of the legislature by the rats?
In the Texas state house the GOP picked up 22 new seats for a total of 99 out of 150. The state senate remained 19 - 12 GOP.
Weren’t there posts yesterday saying the Republicans had picked up 1,000 seats?
If Liberals want to continue in their usual state of denial, hysteria and self-induced myopia, that’s fine.
They can take the voting results, manipulate them, make excuses, or slice and dice them any MoFo way they want… it comes out the same. THEY are going in a direction VERY FEW Americans want to follow-and Americans have been CLEAR on this.
NOW-they want to ‘work’ with Conservatives. Really????
‘Work’-implies give and take.
• Where was THAT sentiment when Liberals used Healthcare as a cudgel on American taxpayers?
• Where was THAT sentiment when “O” went around the world bent double in shameful and unqualified penitence to people and governments who openly avow their hostility for the US?
• Where was THAT sentiment while “O” gratuitously eviscerated the social equilibrium of this country?
• Where was THAT sentiment when “O” and his creatures blamed Conservative leaders (past and present) for ALL our economic ills?
• Where was THAT sentiment when “O” characterized legitimate opposition to his administration as ‘enemies’…please…!
Liberals are in NO position to take and WE are under NO obligation to give.
Ohio's Apportionment Board, which redraws US House districts, is made up of the Governor, Secretary of State, Auditor, and a member of from each political party. Thanks to the results Tuesday, we now enjoy a 4-1 majority on the Board. :)
Betty Sutton, in OH-13, was the lone Ohio Democrat to survive a competitive race this year. She should enjoy her re-election, because he district will be gone by the next election.
The tsunami was fully felt in the states, and it all benefits the GOP.
“And in North Carolina — probably the state most gerrymandered to benefit Democrats — Republicans hold both chambers of the state legislature and the Democratic governor does not have veto power over redistricting proposals.”
this is huge...first time in 112 years!
They cannot be bothered to report on the doings of 535 members of congress (except the occasional smear against a Republican) let alone 50 state legislatures?
They will go back to fixating on the Administration like it's the only game in town.
GOP Picks Up 680 State Legislature Seats
bttt
Lepanto PING !
I’d like to think the new Republican majorities would un-Gerrymander some of those crazy districts, but I know THAT won’t happen.
So how’s that “Hope and change” working out for everybody? :)
we replaced that faggot massa, who had to resign, with a Republican again... the POS was the only RAT from my district in my lifetime, never again...
I’ve been trying for awhile to get FReepers to understand how important the governorships and legislatures are to us for ‘12. Thanks for the article. It explains the point I’ve been trying to make very well.
When the actual redistricting starts next year, LOOK OUT! The $hit is going to hit the fan, lol!! :)
