Yesterday we saw the Democrats win governors races in New Jersey and Virginia. That sounds like good news, and it is. We just need to remember that both states had Democratic governors before the election. So, we kept the governships Democratic. I live out here in California, and yesterday the voters said NO to all of the initiatives. I think it had mostly to do with anger toward Arnold for calling a special election, not to mention his gratuitous attacks on teachers and nurses. That said, this state is still in a fiscal mess, and changes do have to be made.
My overall impression of yestersday's elections? My opinion is that overall, Democrats are viewed more favorably than Republicans, and this is something we need to build upon daily. For the upcoming 2006 election cycle, though, we are going to need more than good impressions to win. We need a coordinated national position and plan for all of the issues out there.
