Republicans score pair of victories in "off-year" races

Virginia is not a surprise but New Jersey is. Voters are fickle -- a fact worth remembering here in Canada. Today you're a hero, tomorrow a bum ... .

WASHINGTON - U.S. Republicans scored a pair of morale-boosting victories Tuesday night in "off-year" elections that could signal early disenchantment with Democrats and President Barack Obama only a year after the electoral landslide of 2008.

Voters in Virginia and New Jersey - two states that Obama won handily in last year's presidential race -elected Republicans to the governor's office despite the president's last-minute campaign efforts on behalf of the Democratic candidates.
