Obama did not easily win Virginia really, 50%- to 48% I believe, after beating McCain 52-47.
Where are you getting your information from? In VA Obama beat Romney 51.2% to 47.3% or 3.9% compared to 2008 when he won with 52.6% to 46.3% or 6.3%. I consider an almost 4% margin an easy victory. Obama won nationally by 3.8%, also an easy victory.
