have been marred by so much turnover of seats - whether the Rep. died in office or resigned for another position (I think in one case, to be a Judge) or because of scandal.

I hope that with this upcoming election, we can pick up some more seats to solidify the majority and give us some cushion (it's only a 1-seat advantage right now but it still makes a huge difference in getting stuff done - at least in the state House).
