Virginia

My adopted home state (30 years or so after I left, I'm still a New Yorker at heart) of Virginia produced election results yesterday that have to be very disturbing for anyone who thinks that Republican prospects in 2008 are still strong.  As a result, substantial increases in the Democratic majorities in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate became more likely yesterday.

Not only did the Democrats win enough seats to take control of the Virginia state Senate, but one of the GOP losses was the wife of Congressman Tom Davis.
