Virginia Race, New Jersey Race and NY-23 Race could all be significant

In case you are wondering why these races are important or how a governor in New Jersey can impact your life - trust me, it can.  There are three races happening and we will discover tomorrow what the outcome will be.  My predictions and analysis.

New Jersey:  Corzine(D) vs. Christie(R).  This has been an extremely tight governor race with both candidates exchanging leads.  Final polls suggest challenger Christie has a tiny lead outside the margin of error.  Christie also went on Imus last week and poked fun at his own fatness leading Cavuto to embrace Christie as the likely winner.  This is a crucial race because Obama has been personally involved in this race desperately trying to bolster Corzine's success and preventing the solid blue state from flipping red.  A victory for the Republicans will send a strong message to the White House that last year's momentum and message has expired.  I think Christie will pull this off, but it will be extremely close.

NY-23:  Hoffman(C) vs. Owens(D).  This race is substantially more important than the NJ race, but regrettably less profile. An exciting race with the hand picked GOP candidate dropping out after her liberal leanings were exposed all over the Internet and heavyweights like Palin and Pawlenty supporting the conservative candidate.  This race is crucial in respect that third party candidates will have something to hang on to and that in this time of crisis, we do not need bloated power hungry Republicans telling us how to vote and what to do.   If this means a victory for the Democrats, so be it, at least we are not selling our souls to the devil.  Hear that Newt?  Go to hell.  I think Hoffman wins this one based on purely last minute momentum.

Virginia:  McDonell(R) vs Deeds (D).  This is only important insofar as it demonstrates that a swing state like Virgina came to it's senses.  The polls are decisive and the Republican has this. 

This will be about the message more so about the substance as both Christie and McDonell are more of the same GOP machine we have been used to and will unlikely make any kind of significant change.  Still, it may very well send a wakeup call to other Democrats who are considering voting for disasters like ObamaCare or Cap and Trade and this can and will help us all.  If this ends up being a Republican/Conservative sweep and it may very well be, the message will be even more effective.
