More results and projections are coming in. There are some disappointments for Democrats but few if any announcements are true surprises.
Deval Patrick, an African-American, has won the governorship of Massachusetts for the Democrats. Robert Menendez has retained his Senate seat in the New Jersey race against Republican Kean in a hard-fought battle. Since Menendez was considered the most vulnerable Democratic Senator, this is another sign of a Democratic trend this evening. Democratic Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich has been declared the winner by the Associated Press although Governor Blagojevich himself has not claimed victory.
Certainly, it is too early to make broad predictions about this election. At this point, however, Democrats appear to be doing well.
