So, McDonnell won in Virginia (as expected), and Christie won in New Jersey in a squeaker. Expected political media narrative of the week: does the fact that the GOP won two gubernatorial races in an off-year election during an inherited recession mean Obama's presidency IS OVER?? Lots of hilarious overreactions are sure to ensue.

The other two races I'm following are still pretty close, with the gay marriage law in Maine in danger of being struck down (ugh!) and the wingnut in New York's 23rd close to being defeated (hah!). I will probably be up for a while refreshing these pages, because I am lame.
