AUSTIN, Texas | Republicans governors are in a buoyant mood at their annual gathering here, with Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour arguing his partys Nov. 3 gubernatorial victories in Virginia and New Jersey presage a repeat of the historic 1994 GOP congressional elections sweep. "Everybody is focusing on 2012 -- its 2010 thats going to be the key," said Mr. Barbour, chairman of the Republican Governors Association, noting that next year there will be 37 gubernatorial races to contest. RGA officials also  

A second lawyer has asked the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission to look into the robocalls reportedly made by the Democratic State Committee suggesting a vote for Chris Daggett for governor. Margaret Catalano, lawyer for the Daggett for Governor Campaign, wrote ELEC that Daggett had nothing to do with the calls. Daggett, she said, learned about the calls when one went to Daggett's home.  

Former independent gubernatorial candidate Chris Daggett's campaign today asked for a state investigation into automated calls it says "severely damaged our candidacy."  

Nearly half of New Jersey residents want to see Governor-elect Chris Christie cut taxes in his first year in office, according to a new Rutgers-Eagleton Poll taken after the Nov. 3 election.  

Although the Republican candidates came close, the Democratic Party in North Brunswick prevailed as residents elected incumbent Carlo Socio and newcomer Shanti Narra to the Township Council on Nov. 3.  

Mayor Sandra Haimoff's margin of victory over challenger Michael Dana in the Nov. 3 election grew to more than a thousand votes by the end of the week after Essex County officials added a tally of mail-in votes.  

In an email to supporters sent over the weekend, independent gubernatorial candidate Chris Daggett, who finished a distant third last week, indicated that he's not planning to exit the political stage.  

Few presidents have come to the job bearing a bigger burden of great expectations than Barack Obama, a blessing for a candidate but often a curse for a presidency.  

More than 24,000 people who cast ballots last Tuesday skipped over the governor's race — meaning that for every 100 actual voters, one didn't cast a vote for the state's chief executive race that was at the top of the ticket.
