Today, on the Ed Morrissey Show (3 pm ET), Jim Geraghty returns after a week off to give us an update on campaigns around the nation, especially in Virginia and New Jersey, where voters will pick new governors. We’ll also talk about ObamaCare and its faltering momentum, preview tonight’s prime-time presser, and touch on the other stories of the day!

Now you can join the conversation in the chat room! Be sure to register at Ustream to participate in our raucous live-chat sessions. (And if the log-in prompt doesn’t come up in the chat box below, use this link instead.) Jazz Shaw of The Moderate Voice and The Monster moderate the chat, and they have Troll Gun Trivia Contest running before the show, for those who get there early — and are registered!
