November 4, 200916 yr Obama campaigned hard for the Democrat governors in Va and NJ and the Republicans win both. What does this say about Obama's influence when the Republicans win the races he has pushed hard for the Democrats to win. This, to me, is very interesting and should make the Democrats nervous coming 2010 Congressional elections.
November 4, 200916 yr I think it says that the normal overreaction right after Obama won the POTUS race that the Rs would have to wait 8 years was just that - an overreaction.
November 4, 200916 yr Democrats are done, false promises of change are not working for American's. Republicans will gain back ground in 2010, and will win enough in the Senate to fend off any Democrat policies.

November 4, 200916 yr ^ Congressional approval ratings are never very high and it is more than reasonable to think that Republicans will win back some seats during the midterm elections. I don't understand your criticism here... especially a personal attack on his abilities as a teacher.
November 4, 200916 yr LBBC is likely correct in his thinking that the Dems are in trouble come 2010. Over the last 100 years only 2 firt term Potus have seen congressional gains in the first midterm. In fact the incumbent party loses 17 seats on average.
November 4, 200916 yr :laugh::puke: What change have you seen in the past year? Unemployment is up, home ownership is down, and no changes in health care. What exactly has he delivered on? At what point does it becomes Obama's fault? You can't blame Bush forever.

November 4, 200916 yr In the surface it looks like a good night for the Republicans. Many will overplay this... In some small way it should ring alarm bells in DC. One is that Virginia is no sure thing, and independents are the ones that decide elections. Deeds really didnt use Obama that much. Corzine did. I think overall it is a way to punish those who are in power and one who have not improved things. It could weigh on the minds of moderates and the vote on health care reform...
November 4, 200916 yr I guess he hasn't mastered that brainwashing thing just yet ...Oh, I think it's more than apparent that in some cases he has...
November 4, 200916 yr I guess he hasn't mastered that brainwashing thing just yet ...Seems to have worked on a few people.. :lol:
November 4, 200916 yr Heck, Clinton still gets blamed for some things ... Like I said before, it is all William Henry Harrison's fault.

November 4, 200916 yr As to the topic I don't think you can read too much into such a small amount of races.
