Rather than governors, what about New York, the Congressional race that went Dem for the first time in decades? Those voters spit out the tea-bag candidate.

Looks like one up for Congress for Dems, one up for Senate for GOP.

Edit: I don't think people know who they are voting for - other than anger at the status quo:

Quote:

Reporting from Washington - Senator-elect Scott Brown -- the truck-driving, "tea party"-backed Republican who scored an upset victory in Massachusetts -- visited Capitol Hill on Thursday and quickly picked up a nickname: 41.

Brown, a state senator, is hardly a political novice. But he campaigned as an outsider, driving a pickup and portraying Democratic candidate Martha Coakley as a cog in the majority party's political machine.

His profile as a conservative firebrand was burnished by his supporters in the so-called tea party, the grass-roots movement that has challenged the credentials of establishment Republicans such as Dede Scozzafava, who dropped out of a special congressional election last year amid the criticism.

Yet an analysis of Brown's record by Boris Schor of the University of Chicago's public policy school found the senator-elect to be more liberal than Scozzafava. He has supported abortion rights and come out against a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage -- an issue he has said should be up to states to decide. As a state legislator, he also supported Massachusetts' groundbreaking legislation to provide universal healthcare.

That is why illegals don't seek attention, let alone medical attention.

Get a clue! Chicago and many other Dem controlled cities are alien free and police and local courts have no say by law. Whether you show at a hospital or r pulled over.

and I love it because instead of taking care of constituents these idiots are worried about recruiting new votes and having ballots printed in Spanish. Meanwhile the same azzholes are trying and have been trying to quash oversea absentee ballot votes BY OUR MILITARY just like GORE!

Funny watching O'Dumbass and Pelosi backing down a little bit from the Health Reform bill. Didnt Pelosi just say the other day that the bill was going to get passed as quick as possible and they would find a way to pass it.

The status quo part. Before it was wars, deficit and Bush; now it's economy and jobs. Obama still has a high personal approval rating. In Mass on day of election he has 74% in that state they said.

I heard a poll yesterday for post-election, the "Who do you feel comfortable with running the country" and it was Dems 41, Repubs 40, and Obama 54. People are still angry, as you say. Obama is lucky, though, they still like him, he just has publicize what he has done already, and address the economics.

he can do that, the GOP won't see electoral majority for 12 years.

The Dems are always too nice. The GOP knows how to be nasty and shove stuff through.
