HABLANDO de esas otras elecciones de ayer de las que nadie habla, como decía se eligieron varios parlamentos estatales. Y los resultados son catastróficos para los demócratas:
The North Carolina Legislature is Republican for the first time since 1870. Yes, that is Eighteen Seventy. 
The Alabama Legislature is Republican for the first time since 1876.

For those saying this is nothing because it is the South, consider these:

The entire Wisconsin and New Hampshire legislatures have flipped to the GOP by wide margins.

The State Houses in Indiana, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, Iowa, Montana, and Colorado flipped to the GOP.

The Maine and Minnesota Senates flipped to the GOP.

The Texas and Tennessee Houses went from virtually tied to massive Republican gains. The gains in Texas were so big that the Republicans no longer need the Democrats to get state constitutional amendments out of the state legislature.
 
These gains go all the way down to the municipal level across the nation. That did not happen even in 1994.

This was a tsunami.
ACTUALIZACIÓN. Más sobre el tema, que políticamente tiene mucha más relevancia de lo que parece. Y por supuesto, de la que le darán analistos y medios de comunicación.
