I think its stayed the same. Republicans run the Senate and Dems the house.

Did Repubs have any net gains (or losses) in either house? My google-fu is weak right now.

IIRC they picked up 2 or 3 seats in the house and that's it ... lemme see if my google-fu is better than your google-fu

Republicans appeared close to maintaining their one-vote advantage in the Colorado Senate, with two seats in the chamber looking to flip political allegiances and thus canceling each other out, according to unofficial election results posted Wednesday.
At the same time, Democrats looked ready to extend their three-seat control in the state House — 34-31 — portending another two years of split governance at the capitol. Late Wednesday, it appeared Democrats Democrats would claim three more seats in the House.
