WASHINGTON, Nov. 8 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Following are statements by RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman on the Election 2005 outcomes:

:nopity: Virginia

"Jerry Kilgore ran a tough, focused campaign for Governor of Virginia. Going into the election, Republicans understood that the Commonwealth had a popular Democrat Governor with high approval numbers. Although it was a difficult road, Jerry's team communicated his principled message and got more people involved in the political process. Jerry and Marty have served the people of Virginia well and Republicans are proud of the campaign they waged in The Old Dominion."

"As a party, we are encouraged by the election of Bill Bolling as Virginia's next Lieutenant Governor. We are also confident the final returns will demonstrate that Bob McDonnell will serve as the Commonwealth's next Attorney General. I look forward to working with both of them."

:nopity: New Jersey

"Doug Forrester ran a strong and spirited campaign for Governor of New Jersey. His efforts to speak to local issues such as corruption and property taxes directly impacted Garden State citizens and garnered the support of many voters. Doug and Andrea deserve deep admiration for running such a tough race and New Jersey is a better state because of their campaign."

New York City

:puke: "Michael Bloomberg is the kind of leader Republicans are proud to support, and we are thrilled that he will be returning as Mayor of New York City. Mayor Bloomberg's achievement is particularly impressive when one takes into account that there are 5 Democrats for every 1 Republican in the city. Tonight's victory is testimony to the fact that voters are more concerned with the candidate and the platform that best represents their views. As mayor of America's largest city, Bloomberg's record speaks to fiscal responsibility and decisive action. As New York's Republican Mayor, he will continue the amazing trend of GOP leadership in The Big Apple for the 13th consecutive year."

4. Bloomberg is pro-choice

Mehlman shares his base in the fact they have NO sense of connect with the American people.

8. and the ONLY repug in city office! Look at the other city races...
"Democratic Incumbents Rule The Day In Races Across The City"

Although most of the attention was on the mayoral race won by Michael Bloomberg, citywide races for comptroller and public advocate, the offices of borough president, several judicial seats, and dozens of City Council seats were also up for grabs Tuesday, and incumbents ruled the day across the five boroughs.
