Overall, Tuesday was a huge step away from Obama and his Lurch to the Left.

Virginia was a total blow-out in a state in which Obama won a year ago; by a 60-40 margin, the GOP re-took all the state-wide offices. A huge—huge step back to the Right.

New Jersey was a definitive rejection of Jon Corzine and Barack Obama—no matter what the liberal so-called experts say. Obama threw in with Corzine—and they got creamed.

Here in New York State—with a moribund state GOP—we have won back local offices and county legislatures. It is a good sign—especially in a blue state.

The only negative from Tuesday was the loss of the 23rd Congressional District for the first time in over a century. That loss occurred because the GOP and the Conservative Party disagreed over the nominee—something that should not happen. We Republicans and conservatives need to be on the same page in unison against the Left!

What impact will these off-off-year elections have nationally?

You can bet that moderate and conservative Democrats in the House and Senate are going to now back away even more from Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi—especially on health care. That bill may never pass the Senate now.

Nervousness abounds now that the Left might drag the Democrats over the cliff in 2010 the same way G.W. Bush took the GOP over the cliff in 2006 and 2008.

Yesterday is a sign that voters are worried to death over the economy and job—and they have no confidence that Obamanomics is the answer.

The GOP and Conservative Movement now needs to do more than just oppose Obama. They/we need to tell the American people how we would solve these vexing economic problems.

More analysis in a day or so.

There are three crucial races on Tuesday - in this year’s off-off-year elections.

The GOP and/or conservative movement will win all three—in a rejection of Obama-nomics, massive government debt and deficit spending, and the Lurch to the Left in Washington:

1) Virginia: this race is over. The GOP re-captures the Governor’s office. Obama has been in there for Deeds, the Democrat, and it hasn’t helped. Part of the problem is Obama himself, but most is Deeds’ fault. He is an inarticulate candidate.

2) New Jersey: a blue state with a Democrat incumbent, Jon Corzine, who has had a bad record on spending, taxes and jobs as Governor. Obama has gone “all in” for Obama: the White House Political Office conference calls daily with Corzine’s staff; Obama has made five trips into New Jersey.

Indeed, this race will be interpreted as a measure of Obama’s political muscle. Can Obama “save” Corzine? Or is he actually hurting Corzine?

Prediction: Chris Christie is a weak candidate who has run a non-existent campaign. But he will win anyway by 2 points as Corzine is terminal.

3) New York’s 23rd Congressional District: what a race this is/was! An open seat, held forever by the GOP. This time there was a weak—and liberal—GOP woman; a Conservative Party nominee with support and funding; and a typical squishy Democrat.

The liberal GOP woman, Dede Scozzafaza, dropped out of the race three days before Election Day and then endorsed the Democrat!

What a total disaster she is. Hopefully the GOP will not allow her to remain a Republican in the New York State assembly.

Smelling blood, Joe Biden is coming into the district on Monday for the Democrat. Tons of Congressional Democrats and even the White House have entered the race at the last minute.

Prediction: Hoffman, the Conservative Party nominee, will win by 5 points.


Overall, it will be a bad day for Obama, the Democrats and the Left.

Even the so-called Mainstream Media will be forced to admit that Obama—and liberalism—was rejected in these races.

Will be back on Wednesday with an After-Action Re-Cap.
