A lot of liberal states traditionally vote in Republican governors like MA and RI. I don't know why either. The Governors in those states don't have a lot of power. It's almost like people vote for the Repubs because they think it's going to balance things out a bit.
My point was that even with Obama strongly endorsing candidates, they didn't win. This says more about the voters than the candidates themselves. 2010 is right around the corner and if the Independents go back to voting conservative, things will definitely shift.
On a side note, it seems a little smug for Obama to so strongly endorse and campaign for the Democratic candidates, and then when asked about the losses, claim to not have been watching the returns. I know he was out at a Bulls game last night, but I'm sure he was keeping track of the elections.
