Fortunately or not, Obama now owns this economy.

'Son is right. This is now Obama's economy, for all intents and purposes. This minor election is not of much gravity. It will have a minor impact, after the "spinners" have their say, but the real test will be a year from now. Does anyone feel that the Dems will make any gains, then? Will the status quo be maintained? Will the Dems lose a little, or lose big?

The results of tonight will be huge as it gives the GOP a sign they can win in the midterms and gives them strength in negotiating over healthcare and kill cap-n-tax. The economy will dictate the mood of the electorate and unless the administration changes policies that depresses business, unemployment will increase and we will have '94 all over again.

New Jersey voters rejected a former Goldman-Sachs CEO, and who can blame them? Virginia voters rejected a guy who sounded like he just came down from them thar hills. Upstate New York voters rejected an outsider. And New York City almost threw out an arrogant billionaire in a waive of disgust.
So what does this all mean for 2010? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Anything else is like saying Ohio has moved markedly to the left by voting to allow casinos in 4 cities. But the talking heads will prognosticate in the hopes that we will pay attention to them, and to their sponsors.
