There ARE more Republican governors right now and incumbents tend to be re-elected. However, we might score some big wins in OH, PA, FL and MI.

The opposition tends to gain ground in the states during the mid-term elections.

The turnout in mid-terms is typically far less than a presidential election. And the opposition tends to get their voters more energized than the party that is in power.
