Corzine has been called a loser in NJ... I honestly have no idea what stiff the GOP ran out there, but oh well.

Complete domination in VA and Christie is projected winner in NJ.

So much for the death of the R party.

Defeating Corzine in a state like NJ is huge.

How the heck does the Republican candidate in the upstate NY Congressional election have 5% of the vote after dropping out of the race AND endorsing the Democrat?

Glad to see Jerseyites finally realized Corzine was flat out destroying their state. Arguably the worst American governor of the last 20 years. I'll take Blago and The Body over him all day.

Thought it was interesting that since 1974 what ever party was in the white house has been opposite of the VA Governor....

So what is going on here? A referendum on Obama or a general disdain for incumbents in tough times?

The establishment GOP leadership will jump on the bandwagon and claim victory in 4... 3... 2...

The best thing the GOP could do right now is shove the dinosaurs into a dark room and leave them there until after the 2010 election.

I wouldn't read much of anything into tonight's results. Corzine and Deeds are putrid candidates.

General dislike of incumbents.

Saw some interesting CNN polling that shows Obama below 50% on handling of every major issue but still over 50% in approval rating. I guess charisma goes a long way.

Did she get over 50% or will there be a run-off?

She's leading 44 to 38 with 60% reporting. No idea if the Buckhead vote has come in or not, but it's looking like a runoff which I would think makes her toast.

Looks like Christie is going to win by as many as 4% points. Not as close as expected.

Bush had similar numbers to this at one time didn't he? I remember thinking the general consensus, even towards the end, was that everybody thought he was a good guy...he just kept mismanaging things.

I hope every current incumbent gets the boot during the midterms. It would be sweet justice to see a complete house cleaning. The yahoos in Congress now are getting old real fast.

I think this serves notice to every dem and every RINO. We are tired of big govt, over taxed, too much spending and govt overreaching into our lives. I am pretty sure Obamacare is close to dead and cap and tax will not pass. The GOP has got to start getting behind conservative candidates, and no more McCains or Specters.
My prediction right now: Obama is a 1 term Pres., the dems will have a net loss of about 5-7 seats and the dems will have a net loss in the house of about 30 seats.
