Could DFL lose control of MN legislature?

Surprising losses by DFL-ers in some key Minnesota House and Senate races tonight at least raise the possibility Democrats could cede control of one or both legislative bodies to Republicans.

Republicans lost the Minnesota House in 2006 and haven't had a majority in the state senate since the 1970s.

DFL entered tonight with 87 vs. 47 majority (in Minnesota House). Some results are early and some races close, but more than a dozen races show GOP candidates ahead though at least one DFL race may be on way to taking GOP race.

Early to project DFL losing majority but it will be tested .

Jacobs says it appears some Republicans may be splitting votes -- casting a gubernatorial vote for Independence Party candidate Tom Horner and then for their GOP state legislator.
