Brooks Sees GOP Dominance

The New York Times' David Brooks writes about the Republican Party:

It has re-established itself as the nation’s dominant governing party. Republicans now control 69 of 99 state legislative bodies. Republicans hold 31 governorships to Democrats’ 18.

When the next Congress convenes in January, Republicans will have their largest majority in the House of Representatives since 1931; they will have a majority in the Senate, dominate gubernatorial power in the Midwest, and have more legislative power nationwide than anytime over the past century.

Given all that dominance, they'd better get some solid legislation at least passed, if not signed by the President.
