Gov. Charlie Cristmade CNN's Situation Room tonight, looking to turn the conversation from what happened in New York -- where a conservative uprising ousted the GOP-annointed candidate from the race -- to New Jersey and Virginia, where Republicans claimed the governor's mansions.
"I don't know we if can really tell exactly what that race meant," said Crist, himself the party-annointed candidate for the Senate. "I mean that was kind of a funky situation to put it mildly. And i think it'll take a little time to analyze what happened there.
"But what did happen there, is unfortunately a Democrat won in a district that's been represented by a Republican for over 150 years. The good news is from last night, these two gubernatorial candidates ran grat campaigns, articulated what the people want, what is important to them and it's jobs, jobs, jobs. Making sure that that we're fighting for a better economy and lower taxes."
Noting that Crist had backed President Barack Obama's stimulus plan, host Wolf Blitzer asked the gov about Obama's efforts to overhaul health care.
"Not with him there either," Crist replied.
