JOE TRIPPI, SENIOR ADVISER FOR SEN. JOHN EDWARDS 2008 PRESIDENTIAL RUN: I think it would be a big mistake for either party to read anything out of tonight and today’s elections. I mean, the fact is that voters voted for change a year ago and they’re going to vote for change, the urge for change tonight.
You see this in — you look at Corzine in New Jersey, for example, I mean, the numbers that this guy has as favorable, unfavorable are near fatal, yet the Republicans are having a really tough time mounting a candidacy that might. Yes, I mean, it’s going to be a tough fight.
Corzine might actually win. I don’t think that’s a big win for Democrats, but if Republicans win it, it’s not going to be anything to go crow about. And in New York, in New York there isn’t a Republican candidate on the ballot. They were knocked off by a third party candidacy that threatens even the Democrat up there. So, you know, it looks to me like I’m looking at this, both parties should be forewarned. Incumbents in both parties in 2010 should be forewarned that voters are looking for change and if you’re an incumbent, get out. You know, you should be very worried in 2010.
