Barone has a round-up. (Note especially the info about the California ballot initiatives.) Although the newspapers are full of Republican woe, the party could end up picking up a governorship. The elections a year after a presidential race aren’t reliable harbingers of the races to come. In 2001, Republicans lost the governorships of New Jersey and Virginia. But they did very well in the elections of 2002. In 1993, on the other hand, the Whitman win in New Jersey was important to the revival of Republican, and especially supply-side, fortunes.
