It may look deep blue to you; however, the GOP now holds the majority in both chambers in the General Assembly.

No the GOP holds a majority in the House of Delegates. The Senate is tied with the Senate tied at 20-20. Guess who casts the tie-breaking vote? Lt. Gov Ralph Northam.

We have two Dem senators and Obama has won VA comfortably the last two elections. Tim Kaine actually received more votes than Obama in 2012. Despite gerrymandering, it is going to be very hard to hang on to Frank Wolf's 10 District seat. It is all about turn out. If the Dems turn out in numbers they will win regardless of what the GOP does. We are outnumbered. I live in the belly of the beast--Fairfax County, which gave McAwful a 68,000 cushion. McAwful won the state by 56,000.
