Tuesday, November 5th - the first Tuesday in November, according to old custom - in the United States were held several important local elections and referendum. The most significant results are two and they were both expected. In New York, Democrat Bill de Blasio was elected mayor by an overwhelming majority, thus becoming the first mayor expressed by Democrats since 1993 in one of the most liberal cities in the United perfect woman States. In New Jersey, however, the moderate Chris Christie won an easy re-election, confirming its position as the best positioned Republican politician in the presidential elections of 2016.

De Blasio is 52 years old and in the primaries of his party was considered one of the two candidates left: his victory was not at issue, but the breadth of its advantage the grant of which he said that strong mandate to need to take forward the promised reforms. De Blasio so far was the ombudsman of New York, charging that there is more or less even in Italy, and together with Christine Quinn was considered the candidate to the left of the Democratic primary: election campaign has insisted that New York was a city split between rich and poor, defended the public school system and has proposed, among other things, new taxes on the wealthy to finance kindergartens. It also has a remarkable family, who "used" in the campaign to bring a diverse and heterogeneous electorate: his wife is black, is bisexual and is a poet and political activist, and his sons are named Chiara and Dante (de Blasio has origins bells and gets along very well with the Italian), and the latter, 15 years, of which he is an Afro hairstyle is a lot of discussion and is described as "charismatic" by the press (also loved Jon Stewart).

During the speech with which he celebrated his victory, Christie has repeatedly criticized perfect woman Washington and Congress as symbols of politics that does not work.
The Virginia Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe was elected governor with 48 percent of the vote, compared to 45.5 percent of Republican Kevin Cuccinelli. This is great news for two reasons: perfect woman the first is that McAuliffe, favorable perfect woman to the restrictions on guns, gay marriage and freedom of choice on abortion, perfect woman which he won in a state considered until a few years ago, a stronghold of the Republicans, and the second is that McAuliffe is a superclintoniano, has been both an ally and close associate of both Bill Clinton and his victory is seen as a sign of health - especially for the mountain of money collected during the election campaign - the same politicians who work for a Hillary Clinton at the White House in 2016.
