Virginia governorship has been overwhelmingly Democrat

Virginia governors since the Civil War: Dem 31, Rep 8

Since 1980: Dem 5, Rep 3

McA will need to 20 point win to claim "mandate", but will still be as useful as nothing since the GOP/TP/Libertarians run the House.

Truth hurts, FBG!

Yeah, but the the two major parties have switched roles in the last few decades, so these stats are meaningless.

It used to be the Democrats that tried to keep the negroes and queers under control, now it's the Republicans. Role reversal is all it is.

Right-wing losers only know the history that propaganda has taught them. Low-grade idiot is the highest rung that most of them have been able to reach when it comes to history.

The type of Democrats that VA has elected in the past are not the same as the Dems of today.

The Democrats have spent the past decade or so weeding out all of the moderate and fiscally responsible candidates and all that's left are big spending, big gov't liberals.

There are still some good Dems at the state legislature and county level, but none at the national level (Governor on up).

And the Republican party has done the same, weeding out the country club types and the good government types. This is demonstrated by the belief some have expressed that Republicans lost in 2012 because Romney wasn't conservative enough.

The large numbers of voters in the middle have largely been abandoned by both parties. These are voters who may favor certain issues from each of the parties, or who favor toned down versions of one party or the other.

Big spending, big gov't? Oh, you mean like George W. Bush?
