I think you watch a little too much MSNBC. Let me point out a few facts.

1. The only open seat in a governor's race was in Mississippi. The Republican won.
2. For the first time in a century or so, the Republicans gained control of the Virginia Senate. The makeup is 20 Republicans and 20 Demkocrats. A Republican breaks the tie. The Virginia House is Republican controlled and the governor is a Republican.
3. Beshear in Kentucky and Jindal in Louisiana won reelection as governors of their respective states. Jindal won by such a large number in the primary that he did not have to run in November.
4. In Kentucky, Republicans held one state office prior to the election. After the election, the Republicans hold one state office- Commissioner of Agriculture.
5. While Obama won on Issue 2 in Ohio by a large margin, he lost by a large margin on Issue 3 (mandated health care). thus, in Ohio, it was a wash and, when the collective bargaining results in layoffs or considerably higher taxes (and it must be one or the other), many non-union Ohio residents will realize that they cut their own throats and cleaned their own pocketbooks by supporting Issue 2.
6. While it is generally accepted that Mississippi failed to approve the personhood amendment because of its poor wording, the voters overwhelmingly voted for photo indentification for voters- certainly a big defeat for Obama. Surely not even MSNBC would conclued that the Mississippi vote on personhood was a vote for Obama and his fellow abortionists.

More examples could be added but the bottom line is that neither party or philosophy scored a big victory yesterday.
