In case there was any doubt...

Thanks to Robert Gibbs who is helping my side's talking points:

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said there’s “no question” that the gubernatorial races in Florida, Ohio and Wisconsin will have an impact on the president’s election, and that having Democrats in charge would “absolutely” help Obama in 2012.

“Strong gubernatorial races in all three of those states will help the ticket top to bottom, and having governors in those states in 2012 certainly will help him,” Gibbs said.
