You said no surprise re: California going democratic, but what party does their Govenator align himself with 
Much has been made of Obama stumping and gotten no where, BUT if the NY23rd had gone the other way, and the Governor races had as well, all we would have heard was that the states didn't matter, and that the influence of Palin et al was huge and will reflect the 2010 elections.... |
The Governor of California had a Democrat as his Lt. Governor.
And you can't have it both ways. It's already been beaten to death the fact that there are liberal states that vote in Republican Governors. It's not a reflection on wether the state is conservative or liberal. I'd be much more suprised if a Republican took a seat in district 9 in MA or District 1 in RI than was elected Governor of either state.
You can play hypotheticals all you want, but the races went the way they did. How do you know what would have been said or written?
