Christie wins NJ and Cucinnelli loses in VA--whats next?

New Jersey governor Chris Christie easily won a second term for governor. Christie who is a former US Attorney won his first election by a razor thin margin won handily this last Tuesday. In Virginia, the story was much different. Terry Mcauliffe, the democratic candidate, had support from Bill and Hilary Clinton. Also the goverment shutdown which effected cities in the northern Virginia area. Obamacare pushed the numbers cloer for the republican and made it closer than what the democrats whould have liked. New Jersy governor Christie showed us that republicans can make head way in to the minority community. As the demographics change we must be able to advocate our message to those who may have been disaffected in the past.
