It’s Election Night 2009, the first time Americans have returned to the polls since Obama’s victory a year ago, and even though his name is not on the ballot in New Jersey, Virginia and New York’s 23rd Congressional District, those three races are very important to the near future of both the Democrats and Republicans. A sweep by the GOP tonight may be seen as a canary in the coal mine for the President’s liberal agenda, a sign that Americans not only don’t like his policies, but that they’re also willing to turn the tide by voting for candidates that offer a different vision than Democrats do now.
