If Corzine wins, it will be reported that the Democrats have the momentum in the 2006 race and the GOP is finished. If Corzine loses, it will reported that the voters are against incumbents and the GOP is toast.
Same with Virginia. How sweet it would be to pick up both of those governorships...but not winning them is just the status quo. We've lost no ground.
They will not look at 2001 and the Democrat wins in thesee two states along with the turnover from Republican to Democrat seats in New Jersey amd Virginia in 2001.
