The Spin Begins

From Jake Tapper of ABC News:

DNC already emailing around an analysis by rival network saying VA/NJ races say much more about those candidates than they do about POTUS

The DNC knows they'll lose Virginia and they apparently are not feeling too perky about New Jersey. They desperately don't want to this election to appear to be a referendum on Obama.

But it is.

And, from the Wall Street Journal:

Republicans appear positioned for strong results in three hard-fought elections Tuesday. But isolated, off-year contests aren't always reliable indicators of what will happen in the wider federal and state races held in even-numbered years.

In other words, Republicans shouldn't be encouraged by good results in today's elections. They mean nothing.

But we all know better.
