Remember that the Dems control the House merely through grotesque gerrymandering. We elected a House Speaker as long ago as 1968 (now-US Rep Bill Jenkins (TN-1st)), and the Dems got control for the next session and have screwed us at every redraw since. We get a majority of the total vote for the State House now, but only have 42 of 59 seats. We badly need to depose "Boss Hogg" Naifeh and take the House this year... it'll be tough, but not impossible. All we need is 8 more seats.
