Ed Gillespie on the lessons the GOP can get from Virginia:
After losing Virginia’s governorship for the first time in eight years, some Democrats are trying to console themselves that Virginia is at its core a “red” state. This ignores not only that they won back-to-back governorships but also that Democrats defeated a sitting senator in 2006, took control of the state Senate in 2007 and won an open Republican Senate seat and three House seats in 2008 while carrying Virginia’s electoral college votes for the first time since 1964.
