Election Day

Well today was election day in many places around the country. In Virginia they were voting for a governor to follow current Governor Mark Warner, a nice man, who I have met personally, and he might just run for president in 2008, we shall see. Well the good news is that the Democrat candidate for governor won.

Democrats Win Gov. Races in Va., N.J.
"Democrats swept both governors' races Tuesday, with Sen. Jon Corzine easily winning New Jersey and Lt. Gov. Tim Kaine taking Virginia despite a last-minute campaign push for his opponent from
President Bush."


Oh yeah and my home state of New Jersey elected Democrat candidate Jon Corzine as their new governor.

Back to Virginia, there is this little bit I wanted to highlight of course.
"Bush appeared at a Monday night rally with Kilgore — the first public campaign appearance with the president in a state that twice voted for Bush.

'There's no way to spin this than anything other than a major defeat for Republicans and for President Bush,' said University of Virginia political scientist Larry Sabato. 'This is a red state, he came in on Election Eve and he had no discernible effect. ... If anything, he may have cost Kilgore some votes.'"
Lets hope this small trend continues.
