Hopefully, this bodes well for NJ and NY (and even CA), and some initiatives on the ballots in other states tonight. It's all about TURNOUT in just about ANY election. This is why it is important to have a motivated, energized base. IF the GOP can put up a candidate in 2012 that will ENERGIZE AND TURNOUT the base, WE CAN'T LOSE.

I hope Christi wins by around 1000 votes and Corzine gets a recount and the Dems try to stuff the ballot box in front of the whole country...usually they get away with it when there are so many races go watch.

Well, if Harmer wins in California expect a 8.0 earthquake. That would be devastating to Obama & Co.

It is even worse than the Dems feared with 70% of the vote in McDonnell leads 85% to 15%.

Deeds may suffer the worst defeat since the 60s in a southern state.

It’s wonderful that McDonnel won big tonight.

But I’d wait for all three thirds of the vote to be tallied before hyperventilating. Just a friendly suggestion.

Fairfax County has about 25% of the entire state’s votes and it’s going to be taken by Deeds by 3 or 4%, but it’s mostly not yet reported in. This will reduce McDonnell’s victory percentage to a very respectable 56 or 57%.

Still waiting on precinct results to see if my corner of Fairfax County has stayed heavily Republican. (Pct. 803)

VA was good, but expected.

NJ will be fantastic.

NY will be HUGH!

CA is a freaking Earthquake if it happens!

The race I am most interested in is Hoffman because the Republicans need to be taught a lesson with a wake up call from the base.

It just proves that the democrats need to become more moderate if they hope to win. LOL

GOP, especially conservatives are HIGHLY motivated,

Too bad they weren't this motivated in the 2008 election.

There's no way you can convince me that McCain would have been worse than zero. It will take decades to undo the damage that has been done in the first year of the socialist revolution.

“Deeds spent considerable resources during the campaign criticizing a conservatively themed thesis McDonnell wrote as a law school student – an effort that was perhaps ill-targeted. While 25 percent said the thesis made them less likely to support McDonnell (vs. 8 percent more likely), most, 62 percent, said it had no impact on their vote.”

...they’re talking about McDonnell’s paper in support of stay-at-home-moms....the Dems have been hijacked by the Feminazis so they look down on home maker mothers...they have no idea that the real world venerates this vital position in society....there are millions and millions of working mothers that would give anything to be able to do that....that’s why Deeds attack failed.

Actually, this is true only for close elections. Big election results, as tonight’s appear to be, usually mean a big majority of Independents have gone for the winning party.

Don’t get me wrong. Turnout is important. But in 2008, we had great turnout in conservative precincts. However, the independents voted against R’s bigtime that year. In that situation, turnout is not so important.

We will discover in the election post-analysis, that I’s broke against the Dem’s quite decisively tonight.
