Republican Bob McDonnell easily won the Virginia governor’s race last night just a year after the state went overwhelmingly for President Obama and the Democrats.
Unofficial results showed the former state attorney general defeated his Democratic opponent Creigh Deeds. The state had a Republican governor for the past eight years.
The Virginia race and the contest for governor of New Jersey are viewed as the first referendum on Mr Obama and the Democratic Congress before the 2010 mid-term elections.
A year ago, Mr Obama became the first Democrat in 44 years to carry Virginia in a presidential race. This time voters expressed concern about major Obama initiatives such as health care, energy and stimulus spending.
Mr Obama’s political influence was on the line in two state gubernatorial elections that could serve as warning signs for Democrats about America’s mood heading into the 2010 congressional elections.
Interviews with voters leaving polling stations in Virginia showed that independents broke heavily for the Republican contestant.
The outcomes of the two races were bound to feed discussion about the state of the electorate, the status of the diverse coalition that sent Obama to the White House and the limits of the President’s influence on the party’s base of support.

and wrong “ The state had a Republican governor for the past eight years. “
Poll blow?
“suffers poll blow” ?
LOL
A little blow is good when he can afford it...but never heroin.
Heh Heh.
Ok folks - this seems to back up the 2008 analysis that Obamanator didn’t win because he was such hot stuff, he won because so many didn’t want to vote for a RHINO! Now Va has a true CONSERVATIVE slate and wins enormously...
Heh Heh, they said blow.
ACORN blow I would say or hope to say! They’ve been handcuffed and now we see the true or as close as true results. Lets keep all the organizing groups out.......
I dunno... I’ll bet $100 that little Rahm has been giving Obama some blows now and again.
Poll Blow? Is that anything like Colon blow?
Gee, Obama is running ahead of Clinton, a/k/a, the first black president. I think it took Clinton about six years to have a blow reported in the press.
I believe Clinton suffered from one of those as well.
When he didn't walk on water or heal the sick...
people started catching on to the con game.
Particularly when the jobs failed to materialize.
Still, they can save the Catwoman costume for Halloween next year.
