Republican victories in states may pave way for convention

A good, neutral assessment of how Republican victories in states relate to convention prospects. Also, this on the history of the drive for a convention on Balanced Budget amendment:

 

The movement peaked at 32 states when Missouri passed a resolution calling for a convention in 1983, then dipped to about half that as numerous states rescinded their resolutions. The tally began growing again after Republicans swept into control of many capitols in 2010.
