“And since there are 26 Blue states then the chance of any amendment that Conservatives want being adopted is nill.”

Not true. You can’t look at this through the red/blue presidential lens.

Republicans currently hold control in 56 legislative bodies, to the democrats’ 41. In 26 states, the republicans hold both chambers.

Assuming things stay the same after November, and all 26 of those states pass several proposed amendments, that leaves only 8 to go. And unless the amendment itself has a ratification time limit, the amendment would just hang around until some of the other states’ control changed, which has happened frequently lately.

This is very doable. The congress isn’t involved and the governors wouldn’t be involved. Only the legislatures.

And as a bonus, in 2010 the republicans gained 700 legislative seats, and 19 legislative bodies. This may be another banner year, and with the democrats putting so much money trying to protect the US Senate, there’s very little extra for down-ballot races.

Nope. Twelve. 3/4ths are required for ratification. That's 38.
