Gibbs: I'll tell you what a local election is...

I just saw this CNN.com story about Robert Gibbs referring to the state elections in New Jersey and Virginia as local elections while putting a lot of emphasis on a Congressional race in upstate New York.

I might not be an expert in geography but shouldn't an election in one out of over 400 Congressional districts be considered more of a local election than a Governor's race?
