THE O-POCALYPSE JUST KEEPS GOING:

GOP Gains in Statehouses Increase Its Clout in 2012 Redistricting (Bruce Drake, 12/08/10, Politics Daily

[Tim Storey, a senior fellow at the National Conference of State Legislatures] said that a court ruling in New York last week in favor of a Republican candidate for the New York State Senate gave the party a majority and represented the 20th legislative chamber picked up by the GOP in the midterm elections. When Oregon and Louisiana are added (in Oregon, Republicans moved into a tie with Democrats in the state House and, in Louisiana, a Democratic House member switched sides), majority control changed in 22 states.

The gains mean that Republicans now control the entire legislature in 25 states, a gain of 11 states over what they had going into election day.
