Let them have their victories

Yesterday was election day 2005, and Democrats won a number of victories, including Governor races in Virginia and New Jersey, as well the defeat of several California referendums supported by the Governator. Let them have their victories. In fact, let them have their spin that this was some sort of 'test' of the Bush administration. The Democratic victories were pretty small and really did nothing to advance the party. As a Republican, I can take those types of defeats as long as Republicans get their houses in order in time for the 2006 elections.
