When will the media get off their Republican vs. Democrat drumbeat and realize that it's not about party lines, but about the issues and the INDIVIDUAL on the ballot?

Hilarious how CNN and FOX and everyone else is trying to tie Obama into these local elections. Hello-o-o-o....my vote for Christie in NJ was NOT a vote against Obama. It was a vote against Corzine only. And his raising of property taxes, sales taxes, and highway tolls at a time when NJ folks were badly hurting from the economic meltdown, and could least afford these hikes.

And the fact that predominantly Democrat state elected a Republican governor is an indication of this specific discontent with Corzine. I am sure that NJ would still re-elect Obama by a landslide because that's a completely different type of vote and a completely different set of issues. But, of course, the media tries to tie everything together, even when there's nothing to be tied.
