So in Kansas, aside from the governor debacle (from my perspective), conservatives actually had a fantastic night in the statehouse. I had no idea how good until I looked at the races today. There are still three races that are too close to call, but assuming the leads in those races hold (and they probably will), we're looking at a net Dem loss of one seat from 40 to 39. Much more importantly, the GOP faction stands to become more fiscally conservative by 12-14 seats.
I judged this based upon the candidates' positions (and votes cast, in the case of incumbents) on income taxes and Medicaid expansion. I say 12-14 because there are a few candidates who were extremely vague to virtually nonexistent on their positions. (By the way, doing this research further confirmed that our legislature has a lot of mouth-breathing weirdos to downright creeps. It's a horror show.)
The big caveat is that there are still enough Dems and "Moderate" Pubs (about 75) to form a coalition to outvote conservatives (about 50) on things like higher spending, Medicaid expansion (but I repeat myself), and tax increases, but at least the margins are much closer than before last night.
