UVA Professor Larry Sabato on Fox Business agrees with you. He said Virginia is no longer purple, it is blue, light blue but blue.
This Rat election and purge of House of Delegates Republican reps will only accelerate the departure of White, middle class, citizens from the state. That will put the petal to the metal for those who want to turn Virginia into a mini California.
Mark Levin, who lives in VA, said the exact same thing this evening about an hour before the polls closed, except that he didn't say light blue, just blue.
