GOP governors win blue states: Maryland, Massachusetts, Illinois...
It is clear that the whole country is tired of Dems power...but will it be better - to live under the Republicans?
Illinois will have a Republican governor with a Democratic supermajority in the state legislature and home to the Senate Democratic whip. This is not what I would call a "blue state" becoming a "red state." A similar argument can easily be made with Massachusetts and Maryland.
Republicans will show their true colors wielding super majority power in the next two years which will likely contribute to how much voter turnout there will be in 2016. I'm tired of the two party system myself and I find it hinders our potential as a country.

People always seem to ignore that state parties often hold dramatically different positions than their national cohorts. When people vote for governor and state legislature, they're voting for their state party. Surprisingly, the GOP IS a viable party in some parts of the Northeast.
The whole country is tired of the two party system. Moreover, the whole world is tired of both US parties. There were times when both parties have had the power. And what is the result? None has shown good results over the past 14 years
Then why did only 1-3% vote for the 3rd party candidates?
Your thinking is way off dude.
Another lie trying to cushion the blow from last nights slaughter.
Yep. New Mexico re-elected Democrat US Senator Tom Udall and Republican Governor Susana Martinez on the same ballot yesterday.
As if New Mexico matters...
37th largest GDP.
LOL
Texas has more money in its pocket than New Mexico has ever had in its existence as a state. We could buy your state out in a heartbeat & then have millions left over if we wanted to.
