Nov. 12, 2009 Way down here in South Brooklyn, I can report there were several interesting election results. For Governor of New Jersey, the race between former environmental official Chris Daggett, former U.S. Attorney Chris Christie and former Senator and in office Governor Jon Corzine went down to the wire and despite the appearances of Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Bill Clinton versus Rudy G. and Christine Todd Whitman, Chris Christie's message of tax cuts and jobs got out and Governor Corzine took a legitimate beating at the polls, making it clear the President wasted a lot of precious political capital on a losing cause. It was also a message for the President to consider since the vote in New Jersey made it clear it was the economy, fooh. Here Barry Barack Hussein Obama has problems since his stimulus has not stimulated much. He has also maxed out most of his sources of credit so, in reality, he would not be coming to the financial rescue with much federal aid going into the future. The fact that New Jersey faces a big budget deficit also is not good news for acolytes of Barry Barack Hussein Obama. In Virginia, the governor's race played out as expected with Republican Bob McDonnell handily beating Democrat Creigh Deeds. In this race, the story was Barry Barack Hussein Obama didn't waste a lot of his time on a lost cause. This, too, was not a vote of confidence for White House since it appears the current incumbent looks on the Republicans as the enemy rather than as the loyal opposition, a subtle but important distinction, meaning the enemy won two state executive chambers and will be unsupportive of the new free money economics this White House so obviously favors. In the 23rd Congressional District in upstate New York, the race between Republican Dede Scozzafava, Democrat Bill Owens and Conservative businessman Doug Hoffman went to Mr Owens because Ms. Scozzafava threw her support to the Democrat after she withdrew despite the presence of a lot of idle politicians with little else to campaign for including Sara Palin, out of state Conservatives, former Governor George Pataki, who actually lives in the district and other big names such as Dick Armey, Michael Steele Joe Biden and the like trying to influence the outcome one way or another. Apparently, abortion and gay rights were writ very large on the minds of the voters there. Ms. Scozzafava also played into the hands of the liberal minds currently running the state government of New York, don't you know. After all, she still sits in the State Assembly despite her lack of success in this Congressional race. In the other high profile Congressional race, pitting Democratic California Lieutenant Governor John Garamendi against Republican attorney David Harmer in a district with majority democratic registration in the San Francisco area, Garamendi won replacing a Democrat who joined the Obama State Department. Two more Democrats only boost the already large existing majorities in the Congress. Nothing new here. In New York City, heavy democratic registration helped Democrats win most races except that of the Mayor, where Michael Bloomberg showed that outspending the opposition is an advantage unlike the New Jersey Governor's race and the 23rd CD where the big spenders did not win. Of course, his Democrat opponents insured that Mike The Mayor did not have much in the way of coat tails, so I would expect spending beyond their means and other liberal patronage schemes that assure high tax and spend politics going forward. There are many members of the City Council who do not like Mike the Mayor's managerial skills. They also want to outspend him so I would expect some drama on this account in the future.
So the electorate has spoken and the main
message is that tax payer's money counts as opposed to the overgenerous
spending of ambitious political candidates.
