		<description><![CDATA[I want to follow up on my earlier post regarding Tuesday’s election, because evidently there is still confusion regarding what actually explains the recurring pattern in which the president’s party loses the off year gubernatorial elections, and the impact those losses are likely to have this year on pending legislation, particularly health care. It turns [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What explains Tuesday’s election results?  I had suggested in my posts leading up to the election that the outcomes would not be a referendum on the Obama presidency, but instead would be driven primarily by combination of local factors interacting with a historical pattern of low turnout in the off-year elections that tends to disadvantage [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Actually, they haven&#8217;t quite swept &#8211; Owens may take New York&#8217;s 23rd congressional district.  But, never mind &#8211; here are the headlines so far:
From MSNBC: &#8220;Election &#8216;09 tests do not bode well for Obama&#8221; .
CNN asks, &#8220;Referendum on Obama?&#8221;  (Answer &#8211; It might as well be).
The New York Times puts it this way: &#8220;Republicans Sweep [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The off-year elections are still a day away but that hasn’t prevented pundits from already doing exactly what I predicted they would do after the election: interpreting the (anticipated) results as a referendum on Obama’s policies and as a bellwether for the future of American politics.  Steve Lombardi, at Pollster.com, suggests in a story today [...]]]></description>
