Spinning Election Night Results

Communications teams are still spinning results from last night’s elections, in which Republicans won governor’s races in New Jersey and Virgina. Republican Michael Bloomberg was re-elected as New York’s mayor, in a race that was much closer than expected. In a highly publicized special House election in upsate New York, Bill Owens defeated Doug Hoffman, who had drawn support from Sarah Palin and other conservative leaders.

Some media reports say the losses in New Jersey and Virgina are a “setback” for President Barack Obama, especially in New Jersey where Obama campaigned up until the last minute with incumbent Jon Corzine.
