BBC News: Reports on the re-election of Republican Governor Christie in New Jersey and the election of Hillary Clinton ally Terry McAuliffe as Governor of Virginia.
Lets Get Real:
So what does this tell us about 2016, well the victory of Christie was expected, the BBC call him a moderate Republican, let see if he runs in 2016 what they will call him, one can guess, as for the McAuliffe victory in Virginia it was a lot more narrow than expected, in this the Democrats were helped by the fact that northern Virginia is a suburb of Washington D.C, thus a lot of people need a BIG US GOVERNMENT, thus they vote Democratic, even then it was a VERY narrow win, and the Democrats spent a lot more than the Republicans. As to 2016 Hillary Clinton is the expected nominee, that was the case in 2008, and she lost, Mrs Clinton is not Bill, she is not that good on the campaign trail, thus if you were a betting man you would bet she would be a the Democratic Nominee, but you might not bet the house. As for the Republican side, Christie has a good message, a fiscal conservative, but moderate, this could be the ticket for the Republicans in 2016, if that is the case Governor Christie will need a right wing VP, some that will make the base happy, what about Newt Gingrich for VP on the ticket. Let the speculation start, its fun.
