It's a new day!

I clearly recall watching the election returns of 2008, as Obama was swept into office.  Well, I was "watching" in the sense that I was curled up in a fetal position, lying on my bed. 

More than one commentator that evening offered a prediction that the election could spell the end of the Republican party.  And that they had been tossed into the "political dustbin of history". 

What a difference a year makes!

The three critical races for today are:
        Virginia Governor's Race - Obama won the state of Virginia - something that hadn't been done by a Democratic Presidential candidate since 1968.  If Democrats can turn this traditionally strong Republican state to the Democratic party, their long term lock on the White House is plausible.  While the Dems held out hope for this, it's increasingly clear that the Republicans will win big.

        NJ Governors Race - Governor Corzine has ruled over an incredibly corrupt state with high taxes and unemployment.  Obama has visited the state numerous times to bolster the governor's reelection bid.  A third party candidate entered the race and has split the Republican vote.  If Corzine ekes out a victory, he'll likely only get 43% of the vote.   His reelection, if it occurs, will hardly be an ringing endorsement of the Democratic party ideals.

        NY 23 -  Special Election for a congressional seat.  Although previously held by a Republican, the district voted strongly for Obama in 2008.  Democrats wanted to use this race as a referendum on Obama.   As the polls are indicating the Democrat will likely lose this race, Democrats are now suggesting that this election has nothing to do with Obama. 

All-in-all, it should be a fairly entertaining evening.    I'll enjoy watching the commentators who gleefully predicted the Republican demise less than a year ago.
