Posted by: Jan Larimer

Republicans Bob McDonnell and Chris Christie both had good nights, and women were critical to their success.

In Virginia, despite considerable negative advertising from Creigh Deeds aimed at women, Bob McDonnell turned a 7 point Obama advantage among women in 2008 into an 8 point advantage for himself. This equates to an amazing 15 point swing.

In New Jersey, Chris Christie showed that Republicans can be competitive in the Northeast among both men and women. Chris Christie lost women by only 5 points in a state where Barack Obama won women by 17 points just a year ago.
