Reply #10: This race is more important... [View All]

NJ typically goes back and forth due to the fact that every Governor promises the same thing: I will bring businesses to NJ and create jobs. NJ ranks 50th for business atmosphere and that promise is always broken. Jersey tends to not care if you are a Dem or Repub as long as you can make them that near impossible promise of bringing more business there. Virginia wasn't a surprise, Deeds ran a somewhat of an awful campaign, esp. in these rough economic times, he practically gave that race away. On the other hand a NY district that hasn't had a Dem since 1852 is winnable and should show a more sweeping trend away from the lunatic fringe of the right wing. The fact that a whole entire political demographic may be changing, in my opinion, speaks much louder volumes. CA-10 is another interesting race.
