No, not communist, but Republican as McDonnell and Christie win their special elections. Virginia was a hat trick as governor, lt. governor and attorney general were all won by the GOP candidates. Not all was rosy for it looks like the Democrat Owens will defeat the Conservative Party Hoffman in NY-23.
The irony of NY-23 is that the more conservative of the big party candidates will have won if the percentages hold up tomorrow morning. How the local GOP could select a candidate further to the left than the Democrat running is beyond me. They were the ones who blew it, in my opinion.
This was a big win for the Republican Party tonight, especially since New Jersey is a very blue state. Voter discontent appears to be high and that has to worry the party in power.
