GOP sweep: Big governor victories in Virginia, NJ
« on: November 04, 2009, 08:59:28 AM »


WASHINGTON – Independents who swept Barack Obama to a historic 2008 victory broke big for Republicans on Tuesday as the GOP wrested political control from Democrats in Virginia and New Jersey, a troubling sign for the president and his party heading into an important midterm election year.

Conservative Republican Bob McDonnell's victory in the Virginia governor's race over Democrat R. Creigh Deeds and moderate Republican Chris Christie's ouster of unpopular New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine was a double-barreled triumph for a party looking to rebuild after being booted from power in national elections in 2006 and 2008.

Elsewhere on Tuesday, Maine voters rejected a state law that would allow same-sex couples to wed. If supporters had prevailed, it would have marked the first time that the electorate in any state endorsed gay marriage.

New York 43 is a bit of a problem.  It gives the Pelosi-duce-duche just one more vote.  But with the Scorfi- that was a forgone anyway.   But everything else is a gain.

We will know what this means on Friday when 0bamacare comes to a vote, or doesn't
