I wouldn't call two governor races tiny. What it does represent is the first opportunity for voters to put their vote where their mouth was, so to speak. In that regard, it represents....something. I just don't think one can take it to the extreme that the pundits would like to take it. It certainly doesn't mean anything in terms of a change in the approach the federal government is going to take over the next 12 months. That will be identical - perhaps even more urgent.
