Corzine had it coming. Virginia is maybe a sign, but so too, is NY-23. It's wrong to generalize about off-year elections when the results are so mixed. So-called "skittish Dems" can either play to win, or play not to lose. The public wants results, and addressing education is one of the most pressing issues in this still struggling economy. Playing not to lose, will mean losses in 2010. Delivering the goods, will secure seats. Have to disagree here. Corzine had it coming. Virginia is maybe a sign, but so too, is NY-23.
