An email circulated last Thursday by Matt Bales, political director for the NC state legislature’s GOP House caucus (and quickly leaked to the tealiban Daily Haymaker blog) reveals a state party in panic over the prospect of losing its nearly decade-long control of the state’s lower house.
Bales’ pearl-clutching memo warns GOP legislators:
Last night, there was a special election in Pennsylvania [….] The outcome is yet another example of the Democratic base being fired up and the Republicans not turning out their voters. The momentum on the Democratic side is real [….]

Democrat Seats = 74
Republican Seats = 46
The looming outcome Bales warns of for November would represent not merely a loss of the GOP’s current veto-proof super-majority in the state House, but a literal revolution, flipping the body head-over-heels from its current R:75 / D:45 composition…..
