Republicans singing the blues

Democrats have won both (extremely close and extremely nasty) gubernatorial elections in New Jersey and Virginia. This is bound to be interpreted as a harbinger of electoral defeats for the ruling party in next year's midterms.

In Virginia, Dem. Kaine won with 52 percent conpared to Kilgore's 46%, despite (or because of?) a last-minute appearance with President W.

In New Jersey, where the race had been potrayed as neck-and-neck, Democrat Corzine pulled off a 10-point lead over Rep. Forrester.

IN a further blow for the ruling party, all four of Schwarzenegger's reform initiatives in California were defeated.
