Truth be told Marty, it wasn't a turn on Obama (wow, did I just say that?). This election was all about issues in the Commonwealth and nothing to do with Obama.

Nobody is surprised VA went Republican (northern VA was the turn) - they have always gone to the opposite party in the first election after Presidential. That was expected.
In New Jersey Governor, Corzine was certainly in deep trouble, so a GOP win there wasn't that big a surprise, either. In exit polls in both states, the majority of voters said Obama had nothing to do with their vote. The interesting election is the neck and neck NY House election between "I love Glenn Beck He's My Mentor" ultra-conservative, outside-financed, Sarah Palin endorsed Doug Hoffman, currently having 45% of the vote, and Democrat Bill Owens, currently with 49% of the vote. This is the race where the GOP candidate, the moderate Republican endorsed by Newt Gingrich, Scozzatava (sp?), resigned the race over the weekend at the last minute, and threw her support behind Owens. If Hoffman loses, that shows the GOP that they can't continue to let the whackjobs control the party; and this is the race that is most predictive to 2010, IMO.

CNN projects Democrat Bill Owens wins in New York's 23rd congressional district, defeating Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman. That was a safe seat for a moderate Republican, but they tried to force their more Conservative views on people of this district. Gales, how many Congressman from your State of New York are Republicans? Down to 2 now?

maybe so but people saying that NJ race meant nothing is a total joke If it wasn't important to the white house why did they send superman? Superman showed up last week , but maybe he was too late? NJ is an overwhelming democratic state and the dems failed there.

Now, will those voters stay home again in 2012 or turn out again for Obama? It is far too early to predict.

you are correct , 1st time voters and african american turn outs were both down from last year (both of these voters were heavy dem in '08) , so no a lot of what happened in NJ is not a referendum on the white house , but it is a referendum on the Dem party in NJ ....the people who voted yesterday are the ones who always vote and they voted out the incumbent gov in NJ for his specific failure's in not creating jobs and reining in property taxes that continue to spiral upwards as spending stayed high and taxes kept going up. People in NJ had seen eneough out of Corzine, he was failing them.

The people in Virginia and New Jersey have woken up and are sick of the lies that O"Dumbass has told. They decided to take it out on the Democratic party. In Virginia could this be a way of the military and military Retirees getting back at O'Dumbass, since Virginia has a lot of military and military Retirees living there. Thats what he deserves for not giving us Retirees a COLA raise in retirement pay. Food goes up, doesnt it yet the Retiree pay stays the same. Shows what little respect O'Dumbass has for the military and military Retirees. Why should he care, he didnt spend a day in the military. People like myself and the rest of the retirees and active military volunteer so there is no draft and ungrateful people like O'Dumbass dont serve a day in the military.

I think it might also be possible that both the '08 election and the results yesterday in New Jersey demonstrates simply that those who were in power for the last 3-5 years - perhaps regardless of party - are in trouble. At times anti-incumbent sentiment trumps pro-Democrat or pro-Republican sentiment. It is hard to say for sure, but it seems like the last year or so might be one of those times.
