2010 is not only a census year but a year when redistricting occurs in each state based on the census data. Traditionally, the party that hold a statehouse has *a lot* of influence in just how that plays out. There are 37 Governorships at stake. ~ pinto
http://www.democraticgovernors.org/homeDemocrats now hold 26 of the nation's governorships, but in 2010, 37 governorships are in play. Add to the sheer number of seats the critical role those governors will play in redistricting, and you're looking at an election that happens only once every 20 years -- and one that could influence our country's political landscape for generations to come.

The DGA needs your help to make sure that Republicans don't manipulate the redistricting process and that President Obama's agenda of change and prosperity is a priority in every state.
