Virginia Republicans Sweep Three Statewide Offices . . .
. . . for only the second time in the history of the Commonwealth.
I am with Jim Geraghty on this one, preempting the networks.
UPDATE: FoxNews makes it official!
UPDATE (from Bruce): Now the question is — will the GOP take command of the VA Legislature?
UP-UPDATE (from Dan): Jennifer Rubin indicates that the GOP will pick up at least one seat.

Reuters headline ATM reads, Republican wins Virginia in test of Obama’s clout. So it’s not all left-wing spin, out there. Even though Gibbs is frantically trying to spin VA as unimportant.

“Homosexual acts are intrinsically wrong. And I think in a natural law-based country it’s appropriate to have policies that reflect that. They don’t comport with natural law. I happen to think that it represents (to put it politely; I need my thesaurus to be polite) behavior that is not healthy to an individual and in aggregate is not healthy to society.” – Virginia GOP state Senator and Attorney General candidate Ken Cuccinelli

“1.4 trillion deficts are the lifeblood of our economy” – President Obama. (Not quite, but you get the idea. Call it fake-but-accurate.)

Quoth Rusty:
Heh… from “intrinsic” to “here’s what I happen to think” in two sentences — that’s some mighty fancy backpedalin’!
Google Image results for “Ken Cuccinelli.”
Dammit, don’t you just hate it when homophobic guys turn out to be kinda handsome?

Not that I’m complaining about the GOP sweep in my home state.
