Republicans hope to take away the Democrats' electoral momentum Tuesday by winning off-year gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia. In the last election in 2005, Democrats kept both of these governors'
mansions blue. Here is how they fared:
51.72
The percent of the vote Democrat Tim Kaine earned in his victory over Republican Jerry Kilgore. Sitting Democratic Gov. Mark Warner was unable to run again because of term limits.
53.47
The percent of the vote Democrat Jon Corzine earned in his victory over Republican Doug Forrester. Then-Sen. Corzine stepped in to run when acting Gov. Richard Cody decided not to run. Cody took over for scandal-plagued Gov. Jim McGreevey.
