It seems that all the talk about the elections is centered around the house and senate but I think they are missing the point. The governorships are where the real power lies because this is the year of redistricting. The state legislators have the responsibility for redistricting but the governor has to approve. The way the people in power use the jerrymandering of district lines gives them an advantage for the next ten years.
This kind of reminds me of how often in presidential races the possible appointment of Supreme Court judges sometimes takes a back seat to policy differences.
