    Once again, nobody seems to care much about control over those state houses, and governor's mansion. I have barely heard a word this election cycle from media, or frankly at any of these political forums . I would have thought we'd all learned our lesson on neglecting these state races from the Tom Delay experience in Texas decades ago. State Houses will control our national agenda for a generation simply by drawing all those little lines on those U S. House district maps.

    The only legislative bodies that function anymore to legislate, are state or local ones. Nobody is passing much in Congress anymore. So here's a couple of links for those who are curious how Trump's dead weight might impact these races.
