Republican wins deal blow to Obama
Republicans win Virginia, New Jersey governorships from Democrats
WASHINGTON - Republicans inflicted a double blow on President Barack
Obama's Democratic Party, winning gubernatorial races in two states
that had backed him last year.
The Republican victories Tuesday in Virginia and New Jersey are a
setback for Obama as he struggles to overhaul the U.S. health care
system, win passage of climate change legislation, and build political
support for his handling of the war in Afghanistan.
They could also be ominous for Democrats ahead of next year's midterm
elections, when a third of the Senate, all of the House of
Representatives and most governorships are on the ballot.
First GOP governor in eight years
In Virginia, Bob McDonnell, a former conservative state attorney
general, easily defeated R. Creigh Deeds to become the state's first
Republican governor in eight years. The state, once a Republican
stronghold, had elected Democratic senators in 2006 and 2008. Last
year, Obama was the first Democratic presidential candidate to win the
state since 1964. McDonnell had about 60 percent of the vote with most
precincts reporting.
In the traditionally Democratic state of New Jersey, Republican Chris
Christie, a former corruption-busting federal prosecutor, narrowly
defeated Gov. Jon Corzine, a billionaire former Wall Street executive,
by a margin of 49 percent to 45 percent. Independent candidate Chris
Daggett had about 6 percent.
In both states, independent voters who had been crucial to Obama's
victory last year voted overwhelmingly for the Republican candidate.
Long before Tuesday's vote, the White House rejected suggestions that
the gubernatorial elections would be tantamount to referendums on
Obama. Indeed, the votes took place in just two of the 50 U.S. states.
Local issues and personalities dominated campaigns.
Still, exit polls showed more than four in 10 voters in Virginia said
their view of Obama factored into their choice. Those voters roughly
split between expressing support and opposition for the president. The
Obama factor was similar in New Jersey, though there were slightly
more voters who said the president did not factor into their choice.
Obama campaigned for Corzine, Deeds
Obama had inserted himself into the races, campaigning for both
Corzine and Deeds and appearing in their advertisements. But Obama's
popularity has faded some since the early days of the presidency and
clearly wasn't strong enough to make a difference in the campaigns.
That point will not be lost on moderate Democrats seeking re-election
in conservative districts and states. They may be reluctant to back
Obama on issues like climate change and health care if it means
antagonizing local voters ? especially if Obama lacks the political
heft to carry them through the next election.
