Let me make it very clear. The Conservatives movement is alive and doing well. Last night in Virginia the Republican Candidate, Bob McDonnell soundly beat the Democratic candidate for the office of Governor. This is huge turnaround for a state which gave the Obama Administration a 6 point margin of victory last November. The Democratic Governors Association and Democratic Committee invested $10 million dollars to hold on to the state for the third time in a row. Obama came to Virginia to campaign for the democratic many times.
In New Jersey perhaps the biggest shock of the evening to the Democrats was the loss of the Governors race to Republican Chris Christie. Again, Obama came in to help out with the campaign many times including the day before the elections. The Corzine campaign received millions of dollars from the national committee to help. Corzine was unapologetic in his support of the Obama Administration. The voters however recognized the statewide corruption and rebelled against some of the most onerous state taxes in the nation.
Now you are going to hear from the spinsters that this was not any repudiation of the Obama Administration but the evidence is quite clear that Obama spent many hours in each state campaigning and tens of millions of dollars were spent. Exit polls showed that beyond the relative state issues, the voters were expressing opposition to the direction they felt the federal government was taking them. Even the most liberal NBC news declared in late night headlines that these victories in Virginia and New Jersey were 'a troubling sign for the president and his party heading into an important midterm election (next) year'."
