While House elections certainly were a bloodbath beyond even a dark suspicions, and Senate are displeasing (I'm talking from the Democratic perspective Tongue), the gubernatorial are not very suprising.

We all knew, even over a year ago when a lot of people were keep saying "2010 is going to be another good year, blah, blah...", that Republicans are going to make a gains in a state mansions, mostly due to states where a popular Democratic incumbents retires and there were none to replace them, like Kansas, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Wyoming etc.

Ohio is of course disappointing, but personally I wasn't very optimistic about Strickland. Florida is really disappointing. South Carolina... heh, it was funny to see it's closeness but still, we expected R hold.

Of course Colorado, Massachusetts, California and Hawaii are bright spots.

By the way, were Maine, Connecticut and Vermont called yet?

Don't forget Illinois. It's very likely to go to Quinn, and given that the Reps gained as many as 4 seats in Illinois (which would give them a 11-8 majority), that's significant for redistricting.

Maine was called for the Republican, Connecticut is still screwed up and doesn't know who won, Vermont was called for the Democrat.
