2009 Governors races

The two states which have governors races this year are close races. The race in Virginia continues to be close with Bob McDonnell leading Creigh Deeds 44-41 in the latest polls. The New Jersey race is starting too tighten however Chris Christie is still leading incumbent Jon Corzine 42-37. This means two things that if things keep going the way they are with the economy President Obama will cost his party one governor's maybe two. Most experts believe that Jon Corzine was going to be in trouble for re-election anyway with his poor handling of state issues. But for Creigh Deeds don't expect a bunch of help from President Obama because of the states purple tinge.
