Today, on the Ed Morrissey Show (3 pm ET), Jim Geraghty joins me to review the results of Election Day — who won what, who lost what, and what it all means. We’ll take a look at what happened in the down-ticket races in Virginia, which portend real problems for Democrats in 2010. Don’t miss it!

I wanna hear more about local races across the US. It looks like we cleaned up in the NYC suburbs, took Miami mayor, lost Charlotte, won a MI state senate seat, aborted 7 Dems in VA assembly, etc. Any other notable results?

I see Bergen County ended up blue. Must have come down to the wire. Amazing it was close there.

Huge victory in Wake County (Raleigh, NC). Local guy won for school board…school board now majority anti-busing. It’s a huge issue here. The NAACP is not happy…their gal/pawn got trounced 75-24. They are threatening to sue…so you know it’s a great win! :-D
Chapel Hill elected openly gay mayor. Fine. Except he’s a lefty loon…and so Chapel Hill should be the same. It’s a very odd place.

Ah, that red Virginia map is a thing of beauty. . .

Corzine was one of The One’s biggest cheerleaders. Of course now, the Left is saying he was just an unpopular banker.

In the VA General Assembly it was a net gain of 6 GOP seats. (8 Dem incumbents lost, as did 2 GOP ones)

Wondering if Virginia is not being given enough credit there. Of the two wins yesterday I think VA’s was the one that was telling Obama and Pelosi and Reid that they don’t like Federal policies and interference. It’s VA that the WH and company should be worried about because they were truly, truly passing judgement on the Democratic regime of the last year. I’m not from NJ, but am told that much of their anger was over local issues especially taxes–not sure I’m right but this is what I’ve heard. That pix says it all, so much red that one has to search for the teeny, weeny blue patches. Thanks VA–you told it just like I feel.

We’ll always have the Jon S. Corzine Memorial Guardrail as a monument to his greatest achievement.

Republican Joan Orie Melvin won a seat on the PA Supreme Court, defeating a Dem incumbent. Republicans won all down the line in Bucks County, which used to be solid R but has been trending D lately, at least in national elections. Democrat Rep. (and Pelosi lapdog) Patrick Murphy went all out for Dem Chris Asplen for District Attorney and was trounced. My local GOP township supervisor was reelected handily despite a Dem smear campaign against her. Zero Obama coattails around here.
I smell a big Republican year next year in Pennsylvania. Governor, Attorney General, Senate, and 3-4 House seats at least.

Liberty University was responsible for one of the Republican pickups in the VA state assembly. The democrat was winning until the results from the polling place where the students voted were counted. That put the Repub. up by two hundred votes… Thanks ACLU for making sure that VA college students could vote locally!

It was great to wake up to a red state this morning. I wonder if any of my co-workers realize the meaning behind my choice of a red shirt today.

that Va map is not the same one that I saw in the Richmond Times Dispatch this a.m. The county of Albemarle is NOT red (this is home of Thomas Jefferson for all you non-Virginians). I apologize to America for this, but its lib academia at UVa.

Yep. Tim Holden for one had better watch how he votes.

For the President, the Omniscient one woke up to a large red pimple on the tip of his nose this morning, so large it has a name…New Jersey.
Karl Marx’s and Saul Alinsky’s legacy’s were denigrated in a deep blue lock box under their most ardent practitioner’s watch ever to hold the office.
Khrushchev got spanked with his own shoe.
I guess malignant coat tails travel around the body and inflame in the most inconvenient place.

Albemarle County IS red.
McDonnell: 15,763 50.48%
Deeds: 15,426 49.40%
Charlottesville on the other hand… not so much.

From the ABC news website, guess how they are reporting the election news? Would you believe … by reposting a series of articles about last year’s historic election? Seriously, they are giving last year’s results more press than yesterday’s!
