31 seat assured swing to Democrats with Dems leading in 6 of the 11 undecided races (Some estimates say were it not for the GOP Gerrymanders of 2000 the pick up would have been 50 to 60)

almost 400 democratic seats gained in state legislatures

Democrats captured majority in at least 6 state legislative houses

6 states acheived a Democratic trifecta

7 new Democratic governors including MI and WI (be afraid Donald!)

Cobb County GA goes for a black female candidate for governor by 8%

A Democrat comes within less than 3% of knocking off Ted Cruz who won in 2012 (a mostly Democratic year) by 16%

In spite of having to defend 26(D) seats vs 11(R) seats the Democrats appear to have lost no more than 2 seante seats (In 2020 the picture will flip with the GOP having to defend 21 seats to 11 Dem seats)

Sorry to interrupt...Now Wix, Phil, CRD, MM et al you may resume your light footed walk past the graveyard!
