What really should concern Obama and his gang is that New Jersey and Virginia both went to him in the 2008 presidential election...(Virginia hadn't been won by Dems since 1964...looks like one year was enough for them)

White House Plays Down Election Results
By Jeff Zeleny
President Obama loves elections.

The White House sought on Wednesday to play down Republican victories in the Virginia and New Jersey governors’ races, where the president had campaigned. The outcomes were not a referendum on the administration but rather “very local issues that didn’t involve the president,” said Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary.

So what lessons did the White House draw?

“Voters are concerned about the economy,” Mr. Gibbs said. “I don’t think the president needed an election or an exit poll to come to that conclusion.”

Mr. Gibbs spent more than 20 minutes fielding questions from reporters about the off-year elections. He insisted that the White House was not worried that swing voters — many of the same types of people who supported Mr. Obama — seemed to back Republicans. He said the results were not a reason for the president to revise his message or legislative agenda.

Again and again, Mr. Gibbs tried to steer the conversation to one of the few bright spots for his party on Tuesday night: a Congressional race in upstate New York, where the Democratic candidate, Bill Owens, prevailed in conservative territory.

In that race, though, Mr. Obama never stepped foot in the district.
