um... Cuccinelli lost because there was a strong libertarian on the ballot taking votes from him.

Nearly every vote for the libertarian would of gone to Cuccinelli

Not according to the exit polling data. Seeing that the Democrat candidate couldn't even achieve a majority in the state is however a good sign.

...it’s true that the libertarian pulled from Mcauliffe as well, but Cuccinelli couldn’t afford to lose any votes, so that hurt...

...the writer states that married women went for Cuccinelli...a better metric would be to break up the married vote by age grouping...since couples rarely vote against each other, I’m guessing that older men and their wives drove that result...unfortunately northern Virginia is fast becoming yuppie heaven (just look at Rte 15 from Lucketts to Gainesville on a fall Saturday and see all the #@$%&*!soccer games, yuppiedom on display)and we see the electoral future for the state...singles and blacks also will play an increasing role...

...Virginia is experiencing its last ride with the Old Guard conservatives, at least in high profile elections...not beating the worn out, mealy mouthed hack McAuliffe suffering from Obamacare disease is not a good sign for the future...
