Partisan Control of State Governments

Chris Bowers over at MyDD has a great educational post about the state of the states, as far as who's got what. More detailed information about the numbers of Democrats and Republicans in each house of each state legistlature can be found here.

I'm a big fan of colored maps like those, as anyone who knows me will tell you. Maps are what got me interested in politics in the first place. I still remember my first election night coloring in a US map, using blue for Mondale states and red for Reagan states. (My poor unloved blue pencil was in for 8 years of therapy beginning that night.)
