New York has onerous business taxes, a deeply problematic workman's comp system, and various rules about public sector unions that are slowly destroying the budgets of the local cities.

Grynbaum - Nov. 04 (News Report) - Christopher J. Christie, a Republican former United States attorney who said he would vanquish corruption from the halls of New Jersey government, won the New Jersey governor’s race on Tuesday, defeating the incumbent, Gov. Jon S. Corzine, and striking a blow against the Democratic party on a national stage. Mr. Christie, who accused Mr. Corzine of leading the state into economic turmoil, had nearly half of the vote to Mr. Corzine’s 44 percent, with more than 80 percent of precincts reporting. Mr. Christie’s victory ended a bruising and bitterly fought race that often descended into personal attacks by both candidates. Although the campaign focused mainly on local issues, including a statewide corruption scandal, Republicans across the country were quick to portray Mr. Christie’s win as a defeat for President Obama. The White House invested heavily in the New Jersey contest, a tacit acknowledgment that a defeat for Mr. Corzine would be interpreted as a rebuke of Mr. Obama, potentially affecting the president’s ability to pass major legislation and the public’s perceptions of the Democratic influence. Republicans already captured the night’s other major gubernatorial race in Virginia, where Robert F. McDonnell, a former state attorney general, defeated the Democratic candidate, R. Creigh Deeds, a stark reversal of fortune for Democrats who have held control in Richmond for the past eight years.</span><p><b>NewsTrust Rating: </b><a href="/stories/372476">3.6 average</a> (not enough reviews) - <a href="/stories/372476">See Review »</a> - <a href="http://newstrust.net/stories/372476">Review It</a>        <a href="http://newstrust.net/">Visit NewsTrust</a> | <a href="http://newstrust.net/about">About</a> | <a href="http://newstrust.net/partners/feeds/rss">Sign Up</a> | <a href="http://newstrust.net/about/disclaimer">Disclaimer</a></p> Republican Party Democratic Party Congressional Elections Other Elections It Doesn't Mean Squat Tue, 03 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 http://newstrust.net/stories/370286 http://newstrust.net/stories/370286 <span><a href="/sources/atlantic_monthly">Atlantic Monthly</a> - By Marc Ambinder - Nov. 03 (Opinion) - Along with tarot cards and goat entrails, a lot of people believe they can divine hidden meaning from the results of off-year elections, like the ones in Virginia, New York and New Jersey on Tuesday. I'm skeptical. For one thing, nobody bothers to wait for the polls to close anymore--the "meaning" of the results has been hammered out in advance. A GOP sweep will be taken as proof that conservatives are resurgent and President Obama's agenda is in trouble, while Democratic wins in New York and New Jersey--Virginia is hopeless--will demonstrate that conservatives have gone off the deep end.

If the polls are accurate, McDonnell could walk off with a double-digit victory over Democratic nominee Creigh Deeds in Tuesday's election — this in a state that only a year ago was declared to be trending blue. And across the Potomac, Washington is paying attention. "The independent electorate in our state has indicated in a very strong way that they believe the vision that Bob McDonnell is out there promoting is one that satisfies what they're feeling right now," says Representative Eric Cantor of Virginia, the No. 2 House Republican.</span><p><b>NewsTrust Rating: </b><a href="/stories/370283">3.1 average</a> - <a href="/stories/370283">4 Reviews »</a> - <a href="http://newstrust.net/stories/370283">Review It</a>        <a href="http://newstrust.net/">Visit NewsTrust</a> | <a href="http://newstrust.net/about">About</a> | <a href="http://newstrust.net/partners/feeds/rss">Sign Up</a> | <a href="http://newstrust.net/about/disclaimer">Disclaimer</a></p> Republican Party Democratic Party Coburn named as senator holding up vets bill - MarineCorpsTi Tue, 03 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 http://newstrust.net/stories/375864 http://newstrust.net/stories/375864 <span>marinecorpstimes.com - By Rick Maze - Nov. 03 (News) - Thirteen major military and veterans groups have joined forces to try to force one senator — Republican Tom Coburn of Oklahoma — to release a hold that he has placed on a major veterans benefits bill.</span><p><b>NewsTrust Rating: </b><a href="/stories/375864">4.9 average</a> (not enough reviews) - <a href="/stories/375864">See Review »</a> - <a href="http://newstrust.net/stories/375864">Review It</a>        <a href="http://newstrust.net/">Visit NewsTrust</a> | <a href="http://newstrust.net/about">About</a> | <a href="http://newstrust.net/partners/feeds/rss">Sign Up</a> | <a href="http://newstrust.net/about/disclaimer">Disclaimer</a></p> Health Care U.S. Senate Republican Party Three Contests on Election Day Could Signal Political Winds Tue, 03 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 http://newstrust.net/stories/369120 http://newstrust.net/stories/369120 <span><a href="/sources/new_york_times">New York Times</a> - By Adam Nagourney - Nov. 03 (News Analysis) - In this supposedly quiet off-year election, three contests taking place Tuesday are filling the void.
