The exhilaration and the worry marked the results of the realized special elections last Tuesday, the 3rd of November where there were chosen the new governors of the state of Virginia and New Jersey, general district attorneys, as well as to some mayors and members of legislative cameras. The exhilaration was represented by the republican party, which triumphed with the votes on having reconquered the state of Virginia, where Robert McDonnell signed up like the new governor, after having happened for two democratic governments. McDonnell conquered the democratic candidate R. Creigh Deeds, who was provided with the support of the Hispanic leaders of the region.
In his speech where he accepted his defeat Creigh Deeds he was grateful to all the voters and pointed out that as he said from a beginning “this election is on the future of Virginia, on bringing opportunities, prosperity and hope to every corner of the state”.
Also he congratulated his opponent McDonnell and said that he hopes that they should work together to find viable solutions for the challenges that the state faces.
Of equal way the republican candidate for General District attorney, Ken Cuccinelli conquered his democratic opponent Stephen C. Shannon.
In the state of New Jersey republican also they shone on having taken from him the control for the democrat Jon Corzine, who was looking for the reelection.
Opposite to these results, the worry touched the doors of the democratic party because they analyze the results of these elections as a radiography of the confidence of the electorate on the party that is in the power. Although the experts and the proper White House affirm that these elections were defined more by local topics, which for the approval or disapproval of the administration Obama.
Before the republican victory, the president Barack Obama called his followers to express his support to them, but also he congratulated the new governors.

Luis Gutiérrez, criticized the president Obama. foto:ALVARO ORTIZ/WH.

The democratic conferee for Illinois, Luis Gutiérrez criticized the president Barack Obama for calling the undocumented immigrants "illegal" and emphasized that the chief had never done it during his epoch of campaign.
Gutiérrez realized the comment in the context of a series of deliberations on the inclusion or exclusion of the undocumented persons inside the reform of health that is discussed in the House of Representatives where one hopes that the final version should be submitted to vote this Saturday, the 7th of November.
The conferee pointed out that to name them “illegal“ added to the fact of not allowing to the undocumented immigrants to buy a health insurance inside the health reform, even if they do it with their own money, only “criminalizes and dehumanizes our community”.
“ He has no sense to exclude the undocumented persons of the reform because finally it will cost more money to the taxpayers when an undocumented immigrant ends in an emergency room”, said Luis Gutiérrez.
According to mass communication media, the White House wants to prevent undocumented immigrants from buying an insurance plan under a new acquisition procedure, even if they use their own money to do it.
Other Hispanic members of the Congress joined the Gutiérrez criticism because they think that this clause of the plan of health goes too far.
What is not defined yet is if this new medical plan of buy of insurance policies would be subsidized with money of the government, reason by which the undocumented persons might not gain access to him. It is a responsibility of the legislators and of the same White House to clarify if the health reform prevents the undocumented person from buying a policy of medical insurance of the private market.
