prevail against the once fully R-controlled state house? Will there be any chance of rolling back some of Walker's most horrific changes to the state?

Some here seem to think only statewide Federal positions are important, but the truth is that Dem failure to concentrate on both governorships and state houses in past decades has really hurt us, especially vis-a--vis redistricting. I encourage all to focus broadly in the future and not merely on the high profile positions.
