Republican Wins Virginia Governor Race
RICHMOND — Robert F. McDonnell, a Republican and a former state attorney general, won a decisive victory in Virginia’s governor’s race Tuesday, a stark reversal of fortune for Democrats who have held control in Richmond for the past eight years.
Mr. McDonnell defeated the Democratic candidate, R. Creigh Deeds, an 18-year state senator from rural Bath County in western Virginia.
Republicans cited the victory as a repudiation of the Obama administration and the national Democratic Party’s agenda, especially that of outgoing Gov. Tim Kaine, who serves as the chairman of the Democratic National Committee.
Nonetheless, exit polls conducted by Edison Research on Tuesday showed that support for Mr. Obama had changed little in the state since his victory here in 2008. The polls suggested that many of Mr. Obama’s voters stayed home on Tuesday, allowing Mr. McDonnell to win on strong support among white men and independents and among voters who say they are very worried about the direction of the nation’s economy.
Voters also went to the polls Tuesday to decide a closely contested race for governor in New Jersey, as well as a Congressional race in upstate New York that has been seen as a test of hard-line conservatives who are seeking to oppose or unseat moderate Republican candidates in next year’s elections. Mayoral races were taking place in several major cities, including New York, where Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg is seeking a third term, and Atlanta, where there was a possibility that a white mayor would be elected for the first time in decades. Maine was holding a referendum on whether to ban same-sex marriage.
Quiero que el Partido Republicano recupere la iniciativa, además de la Casa Blanca y las gobernaciones, pero que las recupere el Partido Republicano en el que creo, el de los impuestos bajos, el del estado benefactor chico, el que se opone al aborto, al socialismo en el sistema de salud y de educación y el de Country First, no el de los fanáticos religiosos.
¿Será más difícil ser Presidente siendo mujer como la puta local o siendo negro como el Mesías Oscuro del Norte?, y eso que todavía no tuvieron legislativas en contra.
Y eso que todavía falta Nueva Jersey, algunas elecciones para alcalde y otras para ocupar asientos vacantes en el Congreso.
P.D.: El NY Times se esfuerza en decir que la aprobación de Obama no ha cambiado, por más que los demócratas pierdan la gobernación… pero no es así, el Tostado Líder es un imbécil y empiezan a darse cuenta.
