The Real Blue Wave Could Come in the States

Charlie Cook: “I expect net gains for Democrats in governorships of between six and a dozen, and a pickup for Democrats of between 400 and 650 state legislative seats, more than the average midterm loss of 375 seats for the party in the White House. These state elections are the most under-reported story in politics, with control of chambers likely tipping from Republicans to Democrats.”

The Cook Political Report moved four governor’s race — Illinois, Minnesota, Oklahoma and South Dakota — toward the Democrats.
