The Virginia and New Jersey elections

It is amazing – even perhaps pathetic – the media response to the Virginian and New Jersey gubernatorial elections. These were both races that Democrats were supposed to win, and win handily, in states that are deep blue.  The fact that they actually managed not to lose elections they were supposed to win is being spun by the media as a massive blow to Republicans!  This is a level of self-delusion that Democrats can’t afford right now, when they need to get real about why they are so far out of power locally and nationally.

On the other hand, it is good news that a moderate Democrat won in Virginia – perhaps it will give the Democratic Party some pause in its self-destructive rush to go too far left.
