Well folks, the results are in and it seems like the Republicans have taken Virginia! The governor elections for both Virginia and New Jersey were today and the clear-cut winner in Virginia was McDonnell, a Republican (the New Jersey election is too close to call). What does this election have to do with Obama's Presidency? Well Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele believes that the victory is a "blow to President Obama and the Democrat Party. It sends a clear signal that voters have had enough of the president's liberal agenda." (see stories below) I'll let you decide for yourself what this all means, but one thing is clear: This is the kind of news that would be prominent in Cronkite's day. Sorry "infotainment" stories. You're going to have to take a back seat to the hard-hitting news for tonight.Watch CBS News Videos Online

To me I think political power has cycles in which one party is favored as long as things are going well. As soon as a problem arises that isn't solved quickly the public shifts favor to the other party.
In my opinion I think that there should always be a balance by either developing policy based on both parties philosophies, or do as John Adams suggested and maintain three political parties at all times so that one does not have absolute power.
