Both sides are spinning the hell out of the results. It is fun to watch.

Dems all in lock step making the same excuses

the Reps over stating a the ones they one ignoring the ones they lost.

The real test will be next year. That is going to be a fun election!

What excuses did we, Democrats, make?

REALLY? you do not know? they have been making them all week.they have bee saying things like:

"he was a weak candidate" "even Jesus could not have saved him" "the republican should have won by more" "this is not a reflection on Obama" "well they lost 2 other elections"

One candidate even played a dirty trick by using his money to campaign for the 3rd party candidate with the hopes of taking just enough votes from the republican to win. A dirty dirty trick and I would say a violation of McCain Fingould.

I agree except a lot the mainstream media is making a big deal out of it, too.

I thought New Jersey and Virginia typically were conservative in state elections. The exception was supporting Obama.


New Jersey is consistantly a democratic state.


I stand corrected. I get confused because a relative of mine is from New Jersey and he is a staunch Republican, picking fist-fights with anyone who'd besmirch the name of Bush!

This is what I SHOULD have said:

That tendency is particularly strong with respect to the two states holding gubernatorial elections this year, New Jersey and Virginia, since the party controlling the White House hasn't won a governorship in either state in the last twenty years.

No defending Bush here..
That "no white house ...governship " statement is telling. The fact that Obama won both states in double digits and couldn't help the dems come close is big.

Obama came here to campaign for Chicago native Deval Patrick and the event didn't even sell out.
