lol--McGee turning into a political hack trying to reduce expectations before the results come in.
VA is going to be much closer than I thought. VA is not as blue as people might think. It wasn't a lock in this election, and probably went Clinton as much as it did due to the anti-establishment nature of Trump's candidacy. I believe that Gillespie has done a good job playing up certain aspects of Trumpism without the Trump personality issues. He is also very establishment. It's probably going to be a close one. All that said, it will be a big black eye for the Dems if they cannot win VA with Trump polling as low as he is.
With 72% of state governorships
100% control of Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches, why is it so hard for Republicans to get anything done?
And why do some people still blame anything on ‘libruls’?
The dems have the NJ governorship locked up. Christie did some real damage here by not showing up to work for 8 straight years.
Allegedly a test of Trump, but I doubt they mean anything.
If the democrats don't win both states, it's a shock.
Democrats have held 3/4 of VA gubernatorial seats so far this century. The NJ Candidate has a steep hill to climb in a deep blue state with an unpopular Christie leaving office.

Nope, there's just more brain dead Dems than brain dead Repubs. Murphy is going to ram it up everyone's ass, and that's without KY.
NJ is fucked.
Christie was elected twice while the Dem base hated his guts.

Most Republicans despise Christie now.
Take a look at their base. Surprised that they’re easily duped, and sloooow to come around? Really?
Most people are voting Murphy because he's not the same team as Christie.
Just called it. Northam
Looks like a big win
Guess all the NRA money wasn't enough

Wrong.
The people in VA didn't want a GOPe as a governor
NJ just went to the Communists.
Joey the TROLL, I know you're a little bit slow on most topics, but I'll try and explain it to you. VA Repub voters didn't want a NeverTrumper and member of the GOPe as a governor, they wanted CHANGE, like they got with Trump. Gillespie was vocal about NOT supporting Trump, he paid the price for it. He lost by a bigger margin then Trump did in the general.
The dems had a good night.
No they didn't. They won in areas where they were expected to win. Nothing to see here. There were no "surprises" in any of them.
but I doubt they mean anything.
If you don't think this is a backlash against Trump, you are not paying attention.
No please let them go on. NPR said this morning.
"They won on a Anti Trump message. Should the Democrats reinforce that message in the 2018 elections?"
To which I say God Yes! Please
The polls had Gillespe ahead all the time? Can you please post those polls, it wasn't what I was seeing
It shows that the special election results from earlier in the year were pretty good foreshadowing for what was really going on in the electorate.
You can always bend data whatever way you want, but these elections yesterday have nothing to do with the coming elections for house and senators in 2018. So I'll call it the way I see it. Every single comment on this thread is a complete and utter waste of your time. It's your time, so I don't particularly care, but for some of you it seems like this election yesterday actually matters for future elections. It doesn't.

1. VA is chock full of Government Bureaucrats commuting into DC, now outnumbering the rural parts of the State.
2. NJ is a solid blue state.
Clinton won both states.
