Looks like the Dems are kicking butt and Bush lost his bet

the virginia democratic gubernatorial candidate, kaine, has claimed victory over kilgore and democrat jon corzine has been declared the winner of the governor's race in new jersey...

since bush made an 11th hour appearance with kilgore yesterday and the wapo subsequently dubbed that race a "referendum" on bush, maybe kilgore is kinda wishing george had stayed home... further proof, as if we needed any, that bush and the r's are in deep and serious shit...

check hotline and kos for updates...

(here's the wapo snippet...)

Peter Baker: "In jumping into the Virginia governor's race just 10 hours before polling booths open, President Bush put his credibility on the line last night and ensured that the results will be interpreted as a referendum on his troubled presidency. But the White House is gambling that after weeks of political tribulations, Bush has little more to lose. . . .

"White House strategists evidently calculated that a Kilgore defeat would be seen as a defeat for Bush even if the president did not set foot on the southern side of the Potomac . . . [while] if Kilgore wins, it would offer a well-timed vindication of Bush's clout. . .

bush rolled the dice and he lost...
