John Corzine is New Jersey's new governor. And, surprisingly, Tim Kaine is Virginia's new governor, even after (some might say because of) President Bush's last minute push for the Republican candidate, Jerry Kilgore.
But the squeaker of the night for us was mayor of Edison. The Democratic candidate, Jun Choi (who had beaten our incumbent mayor in the primary), was challenged by "People's Choice" candidate Bill Stephens. There was no Republican candidate. When I had checked in a little earlier, Stephens was ahead by a considerable amount, but in the end Choi pulled it out by 201 votes.
Mr. Mayor, Misters Governor, congratulations.

Polls indicate that Bush helped Kaine win in Virginia. Apparently the race was a lot closer before the President visited last week. Even in reliably Republican VA, Bush's approval rating is only 40%.
Actually, VA elects Democratic governors pretty often, though they almost always vote Republican for President.
