In IL, if Rauner wins AND we can maintain over 40% in either leg chamber then there is a chance at compromise or the drawing the name out of a stovepipe hat or crystal bowl tiebreaker which we won in 1991 but lost in 1981 and 2001. If I had been Sec of State Jim Edgar in 1981 and drew a rat name I’d have overturned the hat and let the rats sue over it. Only thing keeping the GOP from full control of ‘82 redistricting was a 1 seat rat majority in the State Senate.
Even under the current map, rats should not have so many state leg seats, ugh. They gained way too many in 2006/08 and have managed to keep them. Only won the State House majority once in 5 tries under the 90’s GOP map. This state is so lame.
No way to stick Kildee and Levin in the same seat in MI? I thought we discussed this.
We need to win the GD MN Governorship next year and control it in that state, (which Trump should win in 2020) with all the liberal twin city burbs (Paulsen’s seat went for Shill) I’d go on the safe side and draw a 5-2 GOP. Winning sec of state and ag wouldn’t hurt either.
