That the Northeast has been trending blue in recent cycles is self evidently true. Will it continue in 2010?

Below the fold for all the details and hey go check out the 2010 Race Tracker Wiki over at Open Congress for all your House, Senate and Gubernatorial needs.

The Northeast - Continuing the realignment in 2010?

We had a pretty good night on election night in the Northeast. We cleaned house. We nailed 1 GOP Senator, 6 House of Reps Districts, 1 State Senate and held on to all of the State Senates, State Houses, US House Reps and US Senators we had coming into this cycle.

That the Northeast is rapidly realigning towards team Blue is undeniable!
But the work my friends has merely begun. Forget the bunkum about us being irretrievably on defense in 2010 come below the fold to see who should be in our sights in 2010 as we stay on offense in the Northeast........

Take Back the Assembly: a 16-month Wisconsin project

[This is an extension of the debut of my new Wisconsin-focused blog Take Back the Assembly, with content included here to bring non-Wisconsin folks up to speed.]


Back in 2006, the glory days of November brought Wisconsin some major gains for Democrats.  We re-elected a Democratic governor for the first time in decades.  We re-took the state senate to hold a decisive 19-15 majority.  And in the state assembly, we took eight seats, bringing the Republican majority to a razor-thin margin of 51-48.  Election night was just one fantastic announcement after another.  But today, 16 months out from Election Day 2008, the radical right-wingers in the Wisconsin GOP passed an incredibly regressive budget, just one more example of being out of touch with people in Wisconsin and reality both.  Time to retake the assembly, time to take our state back.
