Obama, Republicans Wrapping Up Campaigns for Tuesday Electi.mp3
Voters in Virginia and New Jersey will elect governors on Tuesday, and Republicans appear poised to take back the governor's mansion in Virginia after a streak of Democratic governors in recent years.
Republican Bob McDonnell leads Democrat Creigh Deeds by a large margin in public-opinion polls in Virginia. McDonnell appears to be attracting some of the same moderate voters that supported Barack Obama in last year's presidential contest in Virginia.
Mr. Obama became the first Democratic presidential candidate to carry Virginia since Lyndon Johnson in 1964.
A close race is being held for governor in New Jersey where the Democratic incumbent, John Corzine, is trying to hold off Republican challenger Chris Christie and independent candidate Chris Daggett.
