Last night in the Republican response to the President's SOTU speech, Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds said the following:
It got me thinking about what republican leadership and democratic leadership actually look like, and since control of the oval office, congress and the senate change all the time, the only way to evaluate them are to take a look at some statistics on the state level, where party control is more static and their results can be easily compared.
I left the names of the states out and simply labeled them by color, "Red state", "Blue state" or split. I provided all the links below the charts so you see which specific states (Washington D.C. included) made the top and bottom 10.
Although many here will refuse to see it, the difference between Republican and Democratic leadership couldn't be more clear.
I'm looking forward to this November's mid-terms.
