#Democrats' pathetic spin: All politics are local

November 4th, 2009
Honey, we shrunk the Obama agenda
The Democratic spin on losing the governorships of Virginia and New
Jersey is this : All politics are local. A weak candidate in one
state, an unpopular governor in the other. Plus voters are cranky
about the economy. No broader conclusions should be drawn. Now let’s
move forward and go pass healthcare, OK, America?

But the political reality is not nearly that sunny for Democrats’
political fate or the Obama domestic agenda. Jon Corzine lost in deep-
blue New Jersey — a state Candidate Obama won by nearly 15 percentage
points — despite outspending Republican opponent Chris Christie by
some three to one. And not only did Republican Bob McDonnell lead a
GOP landslide sweep of major offices in swing-state Virginia, his
344,000-vote victory came against an opponent he defeated by just 360
votes in 2005 for attorney general.
