Whew! There's only a few thousand votes separating Kilgore and Kaine, with
about 40% of the ballots counted.

BTW: Seeing this is NJ the outcome should not be surprising.

I just checked and saw that Corzine had a 10-point lead. I guess his
ex-wife will be disappointed again. {}

BTW, I am not going to claim that the Virginia and New Jersey
gubernatorial victories for the Democrats were in any way connected to
Bush. I don't think he was a factor in either race.


No big surprises. The Dems held on to two gubernatorial seats that were
already in their possession. And Kaine was running on the coat-tails of a
very popular Governor (Warner is leaving office with a 72% approval rating).

Kaine v. Kilgore is Virginia.

But, you're right. The outcome of the NJ election wasn't a surprise.

But the Democrat in NY (Ferrer) ran numerous ads trying to link Bloomberg to
Bush in the hopes that Mr. Bush's unpopularity in NYC would hurt Bloomberg.
One of them said something to the effect of "knowing all you need to know
about somebody based upon the company he keeps".

Bloomberg won by almost 20 points.

Do the dead vote in Virginia also?

Yup, it was a battle of wallets, and the richer man won. Between the two
of them, they spent over $70 million. Geez, campaign finance reform,
anyone?

I think the general attitude towards Bush has affected the Virginia governor's
race. Some of the general dissatisfaction *must* rub off on Republican
candidates. But, for the most part I think Kilgore shot himself in the foot with
his TV ads about Kaine's death penalty stance. They were repetitive and stupid.
