Election night was a bad night for Barack Obama and the leftist agenda of Democrats. Big losses in the governor's races in Virginia and deeply blue New Jersey grabbed the headlines, but Republicans made large gains in suburban communities that drifted Democratic the past ten years. One year of Obama's and Nancy Pelosi's leftist agenda has changed that.
This bodes poorly for the left's health care and global warming legislation, as the large number of Democratic congressmen from states or districts that McCain or Bush won in 2008 and 2004 presidential elections will realize their jobs are in jeopardy unless they tack right.
While much can happen in a year, as the change in political fortunes from the 2008 election to today demonstrate, Republicans must feel good about their prospects for picking up many congressional seats in 2010.
