Actually, I think Bush won Virginia by 9 points. It was 54-45, if I recall correctly. And in the mid-term election of 2006, with Jim Webb running as a conservative, with George Allen being torn to shreds over “macaca”, and with the GOP voters disheartened and unenthusiastic, Webb only won by a fraction of a point.
Got is. So the discrepancy is beyond unbelievable.
