Helping or Hurting?

Abdullah Abdulla spoke publicly today about the election of his rival, incumbent Hamid Karzai. Karzai won office by default since there was no other candidates in the runoff election after Abdullah dropped out. Abdullah was quoted as saying, "The process has completed itself with that final, illegal decision."

Are the Republicans on the Rise?

November 4: two Republicans won the Governor's seat in states carried by President Obama in the presidential election. The results of these elections has generated different responses on both sides.

The Republican party says that these elections are proof that people have become disenchanted with the President's agenda. The fact that a Republican is going to the Virginia's Governor's Mansion for the first time in a decade is causing a lot of celebration, as it should. Are these elections, however, significant to a national trend?
