"...huge losses Democrats have seen since Obama's election in 2008: The party has shed 69 House seats, 13 Senate seats, 12 governor's offices and more than 900 state legislative seats -- as well as 30 state legislative chambers.
Many of those losses were solidified after Democrats were drubbed in the 2010 midterms -- giving Republicans more power as states redrew their legislative district lines after the once-a-decade census.
Democrats now hold 3,172 of the nation's 7,383 state legislative seats, and 30 of the country's 99 state legislative chambers."
NO, Wasserman-Schultz is Chair of the DNC for one reason: her loyalty to all things Clinton. Further, Wasserman-Schultz has demonstrated several times in her own home state of Florida that she is more than willing to shunt the Democratic candidate aside and cooperate with Republican challengers IF IT SUITS HER OWN VESTED INTERESTS.
