ya beat me to it. And normally I try very hard not to be a spelling/grammar nazi.

Now if everyone would learn the difference between 'to', 'two' and 'too' as well as that of 'its' and 'it's', and 'their', 'there' and 'they're' we'll be set. :)

I too had some very good teachers when in school-my ninth grade grammar teacher taught us the meanings of the Latin, old English and French root words etc. that make up so much of our language. That more than anything was crucial in learning the basis of true reading comprehension. He was the only one of my teachers who taught like that, and this over thirty years ago. I doubt there are any like that anywhere nowadays. :(
We're expected to win in New York and Virginia. New Jersey and Maine are a toss-ups, but we've got more than a fighting chance. How shall we read into the results? We shouldn't at all, says Charlie Cook.
Whatever the outcome of this year's New Jersey and Virginia governor's races, the results will depend on conflicting factors that are unlikely to be replicated in many contests next year. Beware, then, of drawing sweeping conclusions.
In New York...
Losing the seat would be a bit painful for the GOP but would not signal much about the party's 2010...
