Basically, we are looking at redistricting after 2010. Here are a list of what we can do to make big differences in the state governments. These are a list of the state legislatures that are close to turning, or possible governor mansions we can contest. It also implies to re-elect Democratic governors / elected office holders.
Current state of things:
Democratic Governor:
Democratic Legislature-15
Split Legislature-10
Republican Legislature-3
Republican Governor:
Democratic Legilature-8
Split Legislature-2
Republican Legislature-12
Alabama: Elect a Democratic governor in 2010. (Charles Barkley anyone?)
Arizona: Pickup 3 state senate seats to take the senate majority.
California: Elect a Democratic governor to the open seat in 2010. (currently Republican)
Connecticut: Elect a Democratic governor in 2010. (Currently Republican)
Deleware: Elect two Democrats to the state house to take the majority.
Hawaii: Elect a Democratic governor in 2010. (Currently Republican)
Indiana: Elect a Democratic governor in 2008. (Currently Republican)
Kentucky: Elect 4 Democratic state senate seats to take the majority.
Michigan: Elect 3 Democratic state senators to take the majority.
Minnesota: Elect a Democratic governor in 2010. (Currently Republican)
Missouri: Elect a Democratic governor in 2010.
Montana: Elect 2 Democratic state representatives to take the majority.
Nevada:
New York: Elect 3 Democratic state senators to take the majority.
North Dakota: Elect 3 Democratic state senators to take the majority.
Pennsylvania: Elect 4 Democratic state senators to take the majority.
South Carolina: Elect 4 Democratic state senators to take the majority.
South Dakota: Elect 3 Democratic state senators to take the majority.
Vermont: Elect a Democratic governor in 2008. (Currently Republican)
Virginia: Elect 7 Democratic House of Delegate members in 2009.
Wisconsin: Elect three assemblymen to the state assembly to take the majority.
If we succeeded in all that we did, this is what the state governments would look like before redistricting.
Democratic Governor:
Democratic Legislature-28
Split Legislature-6
Republican Legislature-3
Republican Governor:
Democratic Legilature-2
Split Legislature-3
Republican Legislature-8
I'm not saying I expect us to do all of these, I just am pointing out what people should be focusing on as we move forward, and how these things could greatly change the outcome of redistricting. Each state has their part.
