The latest Rasmussen poll shows Chris Christie, the Republican nominee for Governor in New Jersey, beating the incumbent Democrat John Corzine by 4 points, even with a third party conservative in the race drawing over 10 percent of the vote. In Virginia, Republican gubernatorial nominee Bob McDonnell is so far ahead of his Democratic rival Creigh Deeds that Democrats have already begun to argue on the front page of The Washington Post who is at fault for blowing that race.

So when are these elections - less than a week away, right? Can we expect some last-minute bomb throwing? And don’t tell me to read the article because that has never been a requirement for me to post.
I think that America is waking up to find itself in the Big Suit, and that suit is the Emperor Who Has No Clothes.
For most middle-of-the-roaders and a lot of Democrats, the Obama Suit seemed like a good idea at the time. It was Black (well, half-black) and a lot of people bought it for only that reason. It was supposed to be American-made (although some concede it looks a lot like it was tailored in Kenya.) And when it was new, other people couldn’t shut up about how good it looked. It looked good at all the right parties, and a lot of people said that the style was going to be all the rage.
Sadly, like buying clothes during a three-day Sterno bender, America is beginning to wake up and look in the mirror, and the response, more and more, is “what the Hell?” The thing is, well, stupid. It’s made badly, the fabric is unreliable, it won’t protect you from the outside world, and you have to keep making payments on it, over and over and over. (And your kids and grandkids will too, And it is looking more and more like it was previously owned by seven billion Red Chinese who still want a say in how it is tailored.)
It’s happening slowly, but I have hopes. Every day, a few more of us wake, shudder, look in the mirror and ask, with a dumbstruck expression, “What have I done? Weren’ t there any mirrors in that store?”
The earth opens up and swallows all the liberals!
We The People vow to throw out the garbage in 2010 and 2012; Congress cleaning time! We The People will be doing a lot of heavy cleaning at every level of this Administration.
Even if Corzine manages to buy and cheat his way into another term by inserting his pal Daggett into the race, it's still a loss for the rats.
Tuesday November 3rd....
Dreamer! ;)
That third party vote is most likely overstated. The way the ballot is printed, a lot of voters will have a hard time finding the third party candidate and as election day approaches, people are beginning to understandf a third party vote is a vote for Corzine.
The Wash Post has been constantly fishing around for something smelly to hand on McDonnell. Today’s offering

They're on Election Day.
Had Obama campaigned on his true agenda, which is the destruction of capitalism in our country, and the abolition of capital formation, he would not have been elected. Now that it is evident what his real goals are, many are having voters’ remorse.
I wish there was someway to get the 3rd party guy to throw his support to the rebpublican.

More like a well-placed warning shot across the bow than an earthquake.
This off-season election won’t change anything except the attitudes of blue-dog democrats.
These democrats, elected in republican-leaning districts, are going to think twice before voting for any over-reaching socialism.
This election may very well kill Obamascare and Cap&Tax.
Only 4 points down means Corzine probably has it in the acorn bag. If ACORN can’t fix 4 points, what good is it?
Praying you are correct.
Stop the Baraqqi surge!
You in NJ? Any chance Republicans will gain in the legislature even if corzine wins again? That would be a boost.
This is the race that probably would hurt B0 the most. Losing both these governorships would look pretty bad. But I suspect Corzine can steal enough votes in the end. Winning in VA actually is of more significance but surely the “news” media will play up the Dems winning, even though their victories will have been assured thanks to 3-way splits.
