Honestly guys, do NOT stress about this.
Revel in the fact the Dems have to try and spin this victory into something more than it is.
Its a state that has gone Democrat for the last 3 elections why would anyone think it would change now..its a Democrat state
Especially if Northam does worse than HRC.
The Dems will use the results to frighten Reps in Congress in 2018. They will scare them to distance themselves from Trump and his policies.
