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?

How can you say O'Dumbass easily in 12 when he campaigned for the Democratic candidate who lost? Could this be a sign of change? Maybe voters are trying to send a message to the Democratic party. We will have to tune in and wait down the road.

So let me get this straight:
2 Democratic defeats in STATE elections= huge failure for Obama 2 Democratic victories in FEDERAL elections= don't mean anything Just making sure I am on the same page with wingnut logic.

Michael Steele hip-hip-hooraying is a bit ... too happy a response, IMO. Look, in 2010, it is the common and usual thing for the party not just elected President at the last election to regain about 40 seats at the midterms. That's a good thing - keeps those "Executive" and "Legislative" branches balanced. The key will be to see if 2010 yields an over or under average for the GOP.

I'd be more concerned with who your party is going to run for President 3 years from now and what platform, besides I hate Democrats, they are going to run on. If the economy turns around, and I think it will, the only really tangible issue you will have is the deficit. Now the right is going to roll out all their religious right social issues and trying to tell everyone how to run their lives and all of a sudden, the deficit doesn't seem so bad. You and other right wingers will never vote Democrat anyway and I sure as hell will never vote Repubilcan, so it will be decided, as always, by the middle 10-15%.

Will there be that same energy in three years for re-electing an incumbent? Will the Republicans nominate a ticket as bad as a crusty old man and a mentally handicapped woman again? I'm not so sure. Either way, it is still a long ways away, and as a political junkie, 2010 still interests me far more than 2012 at this point.
