" and that is where we start tonight in Richmond Virginia at the -- victory party where former governor George Allen and Virginia congressman Eric -- joins me now. Guys if these numbers hold up. It's what it's going to be a 21 point victory tonight yeah that to the six points that Barack Obama won just a year ago. Governor out what do you think of what's happened that tonight."
" out now around here in Virginia and it's it's -- because Bob McDonnell campaign on common sense conservative principles. On economic issues jobs and energy. Transportation education. And and those ideas resonated not only with the united Republican Party but also got a lot of independents to join -- well. So it's a great message across the country that Virginians are standing strong for freedom rather than -- Taxes and rationing and taxing of energy."
" Looks like -- too much fun -- governor. Congress there probably are. Congressman as high as we look at this race that this is a -- here in Virginia in a state that Barack Obama won by six points what's your interpretation of this."
" there's no question about it we're having made tremendous victory here tonight. And really what's interesting is -- Bob -- ran a positive solutions based campaign. And clearly the voters of the problem I have rejected the policies. Of the Barack Obama white house on the Nancy Pelosi lead congress and is that enough -- spending enough with the ways and uplifting. Policies are promoting government version now lives and instead they have made a choice and that choice is with the positive from. -- Focus of Bob McDonnell. Doctors found a common sense conservative principles that we know started this mom loved his."
" And I was there was still -- you guys we have a very close race going on in Virginia governor we had back in 1993. We have Bellwether races that we all followed Virginia and New Jersey interestingly enough. And it became a predictor for a lot of what happened with the Newt Gingrich revolution in 1994. Regardless of how this race comes in tonight news in New Jersey do you think we see something similar developing."
" I see it as a precursor having been one in 1993 that. One we ran on an aggressive agenda very audacious -- was a big ally a lot of those successes for jobs and close. Bob McDonnell and legislature. And in this year. The issues that are being debated in Washington -- residents here in Virginia there against cap and trade that would cause skyrocketing electricity and job killing. Taxes they're against government takeover of health care against. Card check which would. What do away with private ballots in unionization efforts. And they're very much concerned about the dangerous debt mounting on our children and future generations. And so I think Americans -- in Washington and she's fighting for freedom and opportunity and prosperity. Because Virginia's once again leading the life."
" In -- congressman -- will be asking this question too many of our guests throughout the evening tonight. Do you believe especially we may even have a health care vote in the house where you work as early as Friday. Do you believe that this is. A referendum vote on President Obama."
" Sean -- physically into the -- revolution that started in Virginia in 1993. And sparking. Credible takeover of the United States House of Representatives in 1994. And what this is tonight this victory here -- Bob Bob McDonnell is a warning shot. And it says in the moderate Democrats in the house. They ought to think twice about continuing to pursue the policies being proposed by this White House. And Nancy Pelosi I'm not with the extreme agenda -- returned back to the common sense. Conservative principles of free markets. Individual responsibility of entrepreneurial -- that's what made this country right. And we ought to say no -- the government takeover of health care that being -- on the floor of the house this week."
" All right congressman governor thank you both for joining us tonight and joining me now."
