The most important thing to note about what took place tonight with both New Jersey and Virginia governorships being won by Conservative Republican candidates is that 2 states with a significant number of electoral college votes (NJ-15; V-13) just went from being Blue states to Red states...Obama losing both, only 1 year after having won them. That, and Obama's own statement on the significance of NJ is what definitely makes this a referendum on the Obama failed first year as president.
As evidence of the rejection of Obama by the voters, esp. in NJ, this story was carried by MSNBC on Sunday during Obama's 11th hour rallies for Corzine in NJ:
CAMDEN, N.J. - In a final campaign swing on behalf of the only governor seeking re-election this fall, President Barack Obama on Sunday pitched Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine's bid as a key component for the White House to make good on its political promises.
"He's one of the best partners I have in the White House. We work together," Obama said. "We know our work is far from over."
Obama drew 6,500 people at a rally in Camden and another 11,000 later in Newark, according to White House estimates. He urged supporters to work hard to give Corzine another term in office so he can work with Washington to help repair a brittle economy. A Corzine loss would be seen as a political embarrassment for the White House."

There isn't any way they would have admitted this had they not really thought Obama's appearances could put Corzine over the top. Knowing that the White House and their propaganda arm in the Network News organizations will try to downplay tonight's results, I'm scanning all the archival evidence I can, proving just how important (and how crushing) a defeat this was for Obamaism.
New Jersey and Virginia each have relatively large numbers of electoral votes (15 NJ; 13 V). It is not insignificant that both of these important states went from being Democrat Blue States to Republican Red States. That's way more important than what happened anywhere else.
How many MORE states has Obama lost in just 1 year?
That's the million dollar question.
I suspect these 2 aren't the only states that went into the Red column in the 2008 elections Barack Hussein Obama and his coming out of the closet as an unabashed anti-free market, anti-liberty Marxist will lose for the Democrats.
