Watch and be amazed, because states you are not even considering are in play, which makes others a sure win.

I think this years will be better than either 94 or 2010,

f the governor of Connecticut is worried, and Nike founder Knight is backing an independent instead of the Democrat in Oregon, than things are not going to go well for the “D”s in states many are not even thinking of.

The Republicans won the MN legislature last election, and they are poised to increase their majority.

Like I said, there are going to be many who are shocked on both sides of the isle.

Republicans big,

My question (fear?) is will they just redo the lost opportunities of Paul Ryan and McConnel when they had power back several years ago?

there is something to be said about unexpected gains in races most are not paying attention to.

Look at the 1980 Senate election, several unexpected wins caught almost everyone by surprise.
(in a year of high inflation too)

Which other states are realistically in play -- in a GOOD way -- for Governor or Senate?

Republicans did NOT win the MN legislature in 2020 -- they lost a seat in the Senate (though still narrowly control it) and Democrats still control the state House and several RINOs caucus with the Democrats which makes the situation even worse.

According to the Princeton Gerrymandering Project, *Democrats* are expected to make big gains in the Minnesota legislature. And these guys definitely know all about Democrat gerrymandering -- they actually assist with it in New Jersey. The well-respected "Dave's Redistricting Page" also shows solid Democrat gains in both Minnesota houses in November.

Things don't always go according to gerrymandering plan, but if Republicans are poised to increase their majority.... that's based on exactly what evidence aside from "anything can happen [shrug]"?

Michigan's legislature is less certain to go bad because the Democrat gerrymandering wasn't quite so blatant. It's close there now, and is expected to get closer. It's a tossup for both state House and Senate.
