VA was a real loss...

I disagree, though I'm surprised Kilgore lost. Warner was a successful governor, and Kaine ran as the second term of Warner (because of Virginia's one-term governorship). A Kaine loss would have been a repudiation of Warner's success, and that would have hurt the Dems more than a Kilgore loss hurts the GOP. The Lt. Governor is a strong conservative who defeated a very liberal Dem, and the Attorney General is very, very conservative, and hopefully will end up winning (there will be a recount).

So VA is still solidly GOP.

Just need to point out, it can't really be all that "solid" if it was close enough for a recount. Considering the closeness of (all) the races in VA, "marginally" may be a more appropriate word.

For now... we'll see how long the MSM/DNC cabal can milk this.

Just watching the behavior of our Senators, and to some extent Bush, over the last six months doesn't promote confidence.
