America is bluer - Dems gain NM, MI, ME, KS, and Illinois Governorship. GOP gained none

none have flipped from blue to red. 5 have flipped from red to blue. There are only 50 states. flipping 10% of them is HUGE.

We're also likely to lose Alaska and Connecticut is looking pretty iffy.

I can't look at the loss of pickup opportunities in FL/GA/OH/IA (and possibly WI) as anything other than painful defeats. If it's a net pickup of 3 states, few hear will be dancing.
