Not just Minnesota. This morning, Republicans-elect control 20 more State Houses than they did yesterday. The last time the Republicans controlled this many State Legislatures was back in the 1920s.
The biggest impact this will have is on Congressional Redistricting as a result of the 2010 Census. Maybe some of the Gerrymandering that has gone on for so long can be undone, and that is an outstanding way to get some of these deeply entrenched Dhimmies rooted out of the Congress. If they had to stand to election in a normalized District, they would not stand a chance.
Lots of work to do in the State Houses next year, and that is where a lot of action will be taking place as well...
Your post nails it. The significance of what happened in local races cannot be overstated...and what it means for re-districting is phenomenal.
