The first major referendum on President Obama’s young administration is finished. One year after his victory in the US election the sun isn’t shining that bright any more.
In yesterday’s election Bob McDonnell, the Republican candidate, trounced his Democratic opponent Creigh Deeds, for whom Mr Obama had campaigned, by 17 points to become Virginia governor. Republicans also won the races in Virginia for lieutenant governor and attorney general.
“Tonight voters sent a warning shot to Democrats and the White House: they are tired of the spending, tired of the waste and tired of the over-reach they see coming out of Washington,” said Eric Cantor, the No. 2 Republican in the U.S. House.
It was certainly a big night for the GOP, but it remains to see if this is the beginning of 2012 presidential election victory. How do you analyze the situation?
