In New Jersey, New York, and Virginia both statewide elections and an election with national implications took place. Republicans claim victory in Governor's races in New Jersey and Virginia, while Democrats won a national Congressional seat held by Republicans since the days of U.S. Grant. Now, pundits on both sides and no side are spinning, and putting their own interpretation on the results.

Ignore the DemoFascist spin. Identify the few progressive dems and support them while putting up progressive challengers in every other district. Right now, we should start with the list of Dems who voted against the anti-Goldstone resolution. That's a good starting place (I don't doubt that a few of those Dems should be discounted and a few should be added, but I think it's a good starting place).
I think you are just seeing general malaise about the economy and employment prospects, coupled with the usual racist fomenting about Obama. This election, as are most off-year elections, was indicative of nothing in particular, as far as most *sensible* political analysts indicate.
