VA had a Dem gov. VA now elects a Dem gov.
Bush won VA in 2000 by 10%. The next election, VA goes for a Dem gov.
Bush won VA by 11% in 2004. The next election, VA goes for a Dem gov.
GOP didn't lose anything in VA.
Next time, I hope they get a better candidate.
From below: "Not every Republican running statewide was as misguided as Mr. Kilgore. Bill Bolling captured the lieutenant governor's office, nudging out Democrat Leslie Byrne by about 30,000 votes out of nearly two million cast. Mr. Bolling made his opposition to the "massive" and "unnecessary" tax increase a centerpiece of his campaign."
