Something is wrong with the polling in Virginia or the Democrats couldn't or didn't bother to get out the vote.
Richmond is in the 7th District of Virginia. Eric Cantor lost his re-election bid because the election polls were all skewed while his job approval rating tanked. There is something about Virginia the political pollsters have very wrong.
Regardless, a Democratic candidate running for the Senate seat should not have expected it to be an easy run considering the Governorship was Democratic.
There have been several states turned on their head politically because for several reasons, abortion and guns top the list. Any state, any district where these issues are lining up in the red column should be considered 'at risk' states. The evangelicals and right wing hardliners don't take losing well. They aren't good sportsmen and women. They are very sore losers and they seek retaliation.
The former governor of Virginia was pretending to be a devout Christian. He even when to live with his favorite holy man as a defense to his illegal wrong doings. Evangelicals don't take that sort of thing well. Even Bob McDonnell is not taking this well.

So, the moral of the story is, where Republicans are corrupt and sore losers besides, BEWARE. Heck, beware even if Republicans are within the government. The Dems missed this one and shouldn't have.
