Not surprisingly Republican gubernatorial candidates won in VA and NJ. Neither races were all that close. However, in NY-23 Democratic candidate Bill Owens did pull out a surprising victory over Conservative Party candidate Dough Hoffman. I gotta admit I didn't see that one coming. Either way, two states with incumbent Democratic governors both carried by Obama in '08 just changed direction and elected two Republicans. I would have to say that's nothing to scoff at.

Maybe now we can return to passing health care reform.
