Virginia is a whole different game however. If Virginia continues to trend right as it appears that it is, it bodes ill for 'The Obama' (May his daughters find rich husbands).
But is it really a trend to the right? According to the exits, the people casting ballots last night went for McCain by an eight-point margin last year. Virginia has a long history (all the way back to 1977) of electing a governor from the out-party. Add in the fact that Deeds was about as inspiring as dishwater and therefore wasn't able to drive turnout, and the result becomes a lot more obvious.
