| [00:11.78] | Two American states elected governors this week, while several big cities chose mayors. |
| [00:19.94] | The elections were the first since the troubled launch of the new federal health-care website and the 16-day partial shutdown of the government. |
| [00:31.44] | Conservative Republicans in Congress, including Tea Party members, |
| [00:36.19] | supported the shutdown as part of their opposition to the program known as Obamacare. |
| [00:43.35] | Political experts looked at the governors' races for clues to how Americans may vote in congressional elections next year. |
| [00:54.01] | Voters will choose all 435 members of the House of Representatives and one-third of the 100 senators. |
| [01:04.23] | Observers think the government shutdown helped Democrat Terry McAuliffe win the governor's race in Virginia. |
| [01:12.60] | Many federal workers live there and federal spending is important to the state economy. |
| [01:19.49] | Mr. McAuliffe defeated Ken Cuccinelli, a Republican with strong Tea Party ties. |
| [01:26.01] | Mr. Cuccinelli stayed close in the race by attacking President Barack Obama and the health care law. |
| [01:34.11] | "Virginia understands that Obamacare is a failure and that you want to be in charge of your health care, and not the government." |
| [01:43.00] | But voters chose Mr. McAuliffe in his second try for public office. |
| [01:49.00] | "Just think about what Virginia has been able to accomplish when we work together." |
| [01:55.35] | The newly elected governor has close ties to former president Bill Clinton and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton. |
| [02:03.68] | In the other governor's race, voters in New Jersey re-elected Republican Chris Christie. |
| [02:10.59] | He won 60 percent of the vote with the support of many Democrats. |
| [02:16.72] | "Leadership is much less about talking than it is about listening. |
| [02:19.99] | About bringing people around the table, listening to each other, showing them respect." |
| [02:25.22] | Mr. Christie received much praise for his leadership after Superstorm Sandy hit the state a year ago. |
| [02:33.02] | Many people see him as a possible 2016 candidate for president. |
| [02:38.97] | Tad Devine, an adviser to Democrats, says Governor Christie's re-election offers an important lesson. |
| [02:47.79] | "He has been able to take a very Democratic state – Obama won New Jersey by 17 points in the last two elections – |
| [02:55.07] | and become a governor who could not only win a close election as he did the first time, |
| [02:59.44] | but win a landslide election." |
| [03:01.71] | Ford O'Connell is a Republican strategist. |
| [03:04.53] | He says Tea Party Republicans need to learn from the winning candidates. |
| [03:10.53] | "Well, it leaves the Tea Party really in an echo chamber, just talking to the base. |
| [03:15.97] | The real problem for the Tea Party is how do they expand their appeal beyond the Republican base." |
| [03:21.59] | Some people predict a battle for the heart and soul of the party. |
| [03:26.37] | Will the Republicans move toward the conservatism of the Tea Party movement or away from it? Ford O'Connell is not sure. |
| [03:37.02] | "Depending on how this battle turns out, it could lead to more dysfunction and government shutdowns. |
| [03:42.58] | And that's something that people all over the world have an eye on because America is still the most robust economy in the world." |
| [03:49.11] | In New York City, voters on Tuesday elected Bill de Blasio as mayor. |
| [03:55.41] | His election put the city under Democratic Party control for the first time in 20 years. |
| [04:02.35] | He replaces Michael Bloomberg. |
| [04:04.83] | Voters in other cities, including Atlanta, Boston and Miami, also elected mayors. |
