For tonights election the first results are in with Virginia going to the Republicans. Winning the seats of Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Attorney General may not secure any votes in either house but it is still a blow to the Democrats. This can be construed as a referendum on the current administration as Obama won Virginia in 2008.

Hoffman has some ground to make up in New York with the vote going in the favor of Democrat Owens to start this race off. I am off to an event for a bit, but will try and post some results if I can find them.
