When exactly did Cuccinelli have a chance in that race? You make it like he had. He was going to lose this from the moment the McDonnell scandal hit. Ken had an uphill battle because Northern VA is basically part of DC now, but having your state party run by a guy taking Rolex watches and massive kick backs is a disaster. It also didn't help that the GOP ticket didn't lead on what they were going to do for VA instead of focusing 100% on what a sleaze McAuliff is.
In conclusion, I don't plan on dealing with this in the least. I don't give a shit. I don't live in VA.

I guess what I meant is that VA has seemed to now be firmly in the "blue" category. NE liberals are spreading like locusts.

Not really. PA is turning pretty Red these days if you dig into the county by county numbers. Most of the Right Wingers from NJ and NY have been migrating here for decades to escape the stupidity. Most of the southern states have become more Conservative. The only reason VA has been lost is that for the last 20 years, the Progressives have expanded DC will past it borders through large govt' programs. Some moderate swings in the mid west are now Conservative. WI is now moderate instead of being Mondull Country.
