Blue Virginia

[WI_DEM]

Be proud Virginians, you delivered!

Don't look now, but Virginia did some serious blue-ing the past two cycles:

2004 2006 2008
U.S. Senate 2R-0D 1R-1D 0R-2D
U.S. House 8R-3D 8R-3D 5R-6D

State Senate 24R-16D 23R-17D 19R-21D
State House 60R-38D-2I 57R-40D-3I 54R-44D-2I

President 54R-45D 46R-53D



We've gone from zero Senate seats to holding both, from a five-seat deficit in the House delegation to a single-seat edge, from an eight-seat deficit in the state Senate to a two-seat majority, and from a 22-seat hole in the state House to a 10-seat deficit.

Meanwhile, there was a 16-point swing in the presidential vote.

Not a bad haul for the Commonwealth's resurgent Democratic machine.
