Senate is thisLove the idea of this! How large is the Democratic majorities in the Senate, House, and gubernatorial races?
Democrats - 78 Seats (+22) [Dems held SD, FL, LA, and NC but won AK and KY in 2004 for a +2 gain, won TN in 2006, and the only senate race they lose in 2008 is LA due to JNK distancing himself from McCain-Lieberman and Huckabee campaigning a lot for him. There are some alternate Dems in 2008 as well, as Don Siegelman is in AL, Vernon Jones is for GA, Edward O'Reily is for MA, Ronnie Musgrove is for MS Reg, Mike Moore is for MS Spec, Brad Henry is for OK, Phil Bredesen is for TN, Tom Schieffer is for TX, Dave Freudenthal is for WY Reg, and Chris Rothfuss is for WY Spec. Yes, this means the very interesting character known as Bob Conley wins the SC Senate Race and likely runs a primary campaign against Obama to the right in 2012 (Seriously, look him up)]
Republicans - 20 Seats (-22)
Independent - 1 Seat (+-0)
Connecticut for Lieberman - 1 Seat (+-0)
House
Democrats - 379 Seats (+143)
Republicans - 56 Seats (-143)
Governors
Democrats - 31 Governors (+3)
Republicans - 19 (-3)
What I did was shift 9% or so in every state from McCain to Obama as a way of saying that a lot of conservatives stayed home or just didn't vote at all and the downballot results saw the GOP crumble with a 15% shift against them. Yes, this means Mitch McConnell is gone and essentially so is the entire GOP Establishment as Ryan, Boehner, Cantor, Jordan, etc is gone with only McCarthy and Pence in any form of leadership role in the House while Jon Kyl is forced to become leader in the Senate.
EDIT - Here's the 2004, 2006, and 2008 Senate Elections and I have some infoboxes for another TL that I'm planning with a friend on Discord
(Infoboxes are made by @CarlosTheAltHistoryGuy but I made the ones with Carlson)
