Near Sweep for Dems
Dems win Gov. in NJ and VA. (Guess the Bush visit didn't help) Arnold loses all of his ballot measures. Dem St. Paul Mayor who endorsed Bush last year... OUT... for a new real Dem Mayor. In Tucson Dems took control of city council. In Dover, Del 8 Repubs we kicked out of the school board and replaced with 8 dems (this was an intel design issue). Maine upheld gay right legis... I could go on and on.
So we did not win everything. Lost NYC race but everyone saw that coming. Lost the marriage amendment in TX but the joke is on them because as pointed out in an earlier post they just banned ALL marriage gay and hetro. HAHA. Does that mean Bush and Laura aren't married in TX anymore.
We now have the big MO but we have to carry it into next year. Keep working hard and we can return the Gov. to the people.

Interesting Analysis -
It is interesting for me to hear that the Dems nearly swept the elections in Va. This is obviously written by a non Virginian.
Here are the facts from someone who is lived in the great Commonwealth his whole life:
The elections are a victory for Republicans.
Prior to the election, Democrats held the Governorship and the Lt. Governorship. Republicans had only the AG.
This November, the Republicans took the Lt. Governorship and held onto the AG job. We also gained seats in the House of Delegates.
These are the facts. This is a "near sweeep for the Dems?"
If so, what do you call 1994 when the Republicans took control of the House???? A landslide victory for the dems?
So Yanni what happend to that 3 point Kilgore win your predicted? Wasn't it you who told me the night before the election that if Kilgore lost it was Bush's fault? I predicted a 5% win for Kaine and you scoffed saying that you never thought that would happen. Well I guess you were right because he won by 6%!! If you want to try to spin this as a win for Repub go ahead but it just goes to show, yet again, how disconnected the Repubs are from reality. Good luck in '06!

You are right I predicted a Kilgore win. I was wrong. He lost.
I do not think Kilgore lost because of Bush. I think Kilgore lost because, although he is a very nice and honest man, he ran a far, far right wing campaign that was rejected by moderates and independents in Northern Virginia and Tidewater.
Despite his loss, the fact remains the same: Republicans picked up the Lt. Gov seat and seats in the General Assembly.
