Turn Off The TV

By Kleinheider Posted on November 3, 2009 at 8:42 pm

Music City Oracle has all the interpretation of the elections in NY, VA and NJ you’ll need tonight:

Here is the best way of understanding the elections. In every gubernatorial election since 1974, Virginia has gone for the party opposite of the holder of the White House. This year will evidently not stop that trend. As to New Jersey, a Republican win will send a chill up the backs of centrist Democrats. Whether it means anything in next year’s elections will partly depend on the economy. It will also depend on whether the Democrats continue down a path that centrist voters fear is fiscally irresponsible.

Feel free to turn off the news casts and enjoy your evening.

    That makes sense. Centrist Democrats will focus on a Governor with one of the lowest approval numbers in the country as evidence that Democrats are in trouble. So far, it looks as if NY-23 might go to a Democrat for the first time in…well, ever, so I think Centrist Democrats in Congress would probably be more wise to look at those results which actually are based on the federal government.

    Yes and the number one reason they went republican (both states)

    1 SPENDING (REJECTION OF THE PELOSI/REID/ OBAMA POLICIES)

    2 JOBS, (TELLING DC AND STATES THE STIMULUS AND TARP FAILED).

    3. DEBT (REJECTION OF THE PELOSI/REID POLICIES)

    4. MESSAGE ABOUT HEALTHARE (REJECTION OF THE PELOSI AND REID AND OBAMA POLICIES.)

    They said Hey obama is a nice guy, but the direction he is leading the nation stinks.
