Why should that happen now instead of in opposition to a wildly conservative, unified government? Hasn't the Democratic caucus grown more conservative? This election must rank among the least conclusive/coherent in recent memory, incl. 2000. SD strikes down the abotion ban, but Arizona declares English its "official" language? This election was more of a WTF moment than a tocsin.
