Republicans win governorships in "purple" Virginia and "blue" New Jersey. Independents who voted for Obama last year are disappointed in his presidency so far. Proposed higher taxes, huge deficits and an explosion of government spending and power, have them peeling away from Democrats in droves.
Obama has three years to right his own ship. But last night's election returns do not bode well for the party as a whole next year.
Suddenly, millions of voters don't think the country's in the very best of hands.
UPDATE: In New Jersey, in particular, where Obama appeared three times to bolster support for Jon Conzine, voters were not swayed.
"Get a mop," was one of Obama's big campaign lines. In New Jersey, the voters did.
UPDATE II: And that's bad for Obama and other big-government progressives.
