Pretty close in a democrat trending state.

Looking like Detroit might elect their first white mayor since the 1970s.

A real pity. Republicans turned out but a Libertarian sapped a lot of what would have been GOP votes.

Cuccinelli did extremely well. GOP elites didn’t give him any support.

The ringer libertarian took the election away from the Conservative Republican. We never learn. Still think a Conservative can win?

Dems financed a phony third party candidate, the GOP-e refused to support the candidate, while other RINOs go full-out anti-TEA party on Cooch. I say, given the circumstances, Cooch did OK. Dirty Dems at their best (or worst).

Democrat Terry McAuliffe, the Clintoon grifting bagman, is projected to win the Virginia gubernatorial race, defeating Republican nominee Ken Cuccinelli in a not surprisingly close victory.

Fixed it.
