“Kaine only beat Allen by 35,000 votes in 2012:

United States Senate election in Virginia, 2012
Turnout 66.4% (voting eligible)
Nominee Tim Kaine George Allen
Party Democratic Republican
Popular vote 2,010,067 1,785,542
Percentage 52.9% 47.0%”

2,010,067 minus 1,785,542 equals 224,525. That was an even bigger victory margin for Kaine than Obama got in VA that year.

However, RAT Senator Mark Warner barely won reelection against Republican Ed Gillespie in 2014 (winning by only 17,727 votes):

Mark R. Warner Democratic 1,073,667 49.15%

Ed W. Gillespie Republican 1,055,940 48.34%

I stand corrected. I did the math in my head and was way off.

Thanks for the correction and good point on the Gillespie-Warren results.
