Virginia is gone.

“Virginia is gone.”

And with it goes another leg in the GOP’s “Sunbelt” or “Southern” strategy. Florida is politically iffy as is North Carolina.

In terms of the Electoral College, we used to easily count on these three states as firmly in the GOP column.

Heck even Georgia is showing some, albeit light, shades of blue.

The worst part is that we don’t have any big states that are trending GOP. I like what I saw in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin the last few elections. They have either GOP governors or majorities in at least one chamber of the legislature. But the same time, I can’t see those states becoming red in the long term.
