  • Ramping up for the 2010 race to retake the Ohio House of Representatives
    The new year of 2010 is upon us.  This November, all 99 seats in the Ohio House of Representatives will be up for election to a new 2-year term. If you are tuned in this early to the race to flip 4 seats in the Ohio House, perhaps you are thinking of being a candidate yourself.  [...]

  • What NH (and you) need to do…
    This past Saturday was the annual NH State Republican Party Committee Meeting (NHGOP) that I was able to attend as a voting member. I have been to these meeting before as a visitor and they usually look like an old tired horse going through the motions. We normally get to see a lot of bickering between [...]

  • Flip4.org is just what Ohio needs
    In every even-numbered election year, all 99 seats in the Ohio House of Representatives are up for grabs.  Yet, while the election outcomes are so highly consequential to the daily lives of ordinary Ohio citizens, voters don’t go into the polling precincts on election day with nearly enough information.  Flip4.org is one tool that can [...]

  • Tales From the Flip Side: Tennessee
    When looking at control of state legislatures, 2008 was not the abject disaster for Republicans that much else was. The Democrats did come out ahead, but not by much—flipping five state chambers, to the Republican’s four. But fully one half of the Republican’s successes came from one state—Tennessee, which took full control of a split [...]

  • Republican New York State Senate (1964-2008)
    Since the 1964-1965 legislative session, the New York State Senate was controlled by a Republican Majority. While the remaining aspects of the state became more and more Democratic leaning, the State Senate retained it's GOP majority. Following the 2008 election cycle, that may change.

  • Welcome to Flip4.org
    Happy New Year, and welcome to Flip4.org! Flip4.org started as an idea inspired by a post at The Next Right from Sean Oxendine. He challenged conservative bloggers to “really make a difference” by turning their attention to state legislative races. These are especially crucial, Sean noted, because of the redistricting that will be done by the [...]
