GOP Gains in 10 Gubernatorial Races
-----------------------------------



Republicans also gained in gubernatorial races, picking up ten
governorships from the Democrats. In one of the most closely watched
races, Democrat Jerry Brown was elected in California over Republican
Meg Whitman. Brown served two terms as California’s governor over
twenty-five years ago. The Whitman campaign spent over $160 million for
the failed bid. Meanwhile, in New York Andrew Cuomo easily defeated tea
party-backed candidate Carl Paladino.
