These elections are a death knell for any sort of environmental bill in the short- or medium-term, however they say very little - if nothing - about Obama's electoral prospects.

Dan Maes is above 10% in Colorado, so we may not get an answer to a great poli sci question: How important is a candidate's place on the ballot? If Maes falls below the 10% line, the GOP becomes a minor party in the state, and gets their ballot line pushed to the bottom.
