Joph,

Obama's from Illinois. He knows as well as anyone that getting a Republican governor doesn't make it a red state on a federal level.
Then why campaign for them?
Because blue is prettier than red. You're arguing the wrong thing.
Is it worse for the democrats that a republican is governor? Yes.
Does it make a difference/indicate a shift in politics/overthrow the race for the HoR in the future? No.
See? It can be a negative without being something REALLY bad. It would have been nice to win some governorships, but the legislature remains democratic, PLUS democrats picked up a seat in NY; which, I might add, was helped a bit by republican in-fighting.
