Finally. Virginia has come back to her senses. I may even go back home and visit soon so I can tell them all how proud I am!

I wish my mom, whose name is also Virginia (who is also from Virginia) could still be alive to see this.

First woman Governor in the Old Dominion.

Nicely done ya'll.

Bout dang time!

To my Democrat friends. This isnt a "blue wave".

I seriously doubt you have any democratic friends.

I thought democrats were vermin and the "enemy within".

Nope not a "Blue Wave".

But with the win in California on Prop 50 it is now a Grand Slam!

And a warning.

Midterms are coming.

If yall had lost these, there would be bigger problems than you know for the Democrat party.

And no hope for a better America.

Yesterday the Dems were dead.

Today it was a shoe in and expected that they win in Virginia.

No Bozo. Nothing was certain and no one was guaranteed to win.

But the future is little brighter suddenly.

The audacity of hope!

Virginians are feeling a little blue and wavy.

Blue wave rebuilds the House: Democrats soar to at least 64 seats in Virginia

Suburban surge and abortion-rights messaging fuel sweeping gains as GOP bid to retake chamber falls flat, signaling a shifting electoral map ahead of 2026.

Re 40

Pretty good for a party that was "dead" yesterday.

Virginia is an American state, you dumb ass.

Trump's running out of time to start that Civil War you've always wanted.

Better get out there and get it started.

At least we now know that Virginians would be on the right side of that war this time.

Then stop saying this is a national thing. You were supposed to win these races.

This election clearly has National implications.

Sorry if that hurts your widdle feeling.

No one is ever "supposed to win" an election. The polls mean practically nothing anymore.

They have to earn it and fight for it up to the last minute. Especially with the dirty tricks maga republicans try to pull at the last minute (and even after).

"First, tell us how this changes things just in Virginia."

Oh dear. I'm. so sorry you can't read the article and see it for yourself.

Virginia has made its choice. They have clearly spoken and said that the democrats are not evil.
First Female governor-elect.
And Ghazala Hashmi is the new Lieutenant Governor, becoming the first Muslim American and first Indian American to win a statewide office in the state.
Overwhelming democratic control of the legislature.
Just a few dramatic "changes" off the top..

Then, tell us how this impacts the rest of the country.

FTA:

Political analysts said the election would serve as a barometer of attitudes toward President Donald Trump and Democrats' attempts to regain their footing on the national stage.

Also did you know that most of the folks who work in DC actually live in Virginia?

Food for thought.

"The race for Mayor in NYC was lost by a horrible horrible candidate."

You didn't like the 1990 white Ford Bronco. His "murder car"? It was the whole reason he was gonna win!

He was so horrible that it seems possible to me it was done on purpose so the GOP, Fox News, and the conservative pundits have a target to hammer at in NYC.

In the Republican candidate's final push he was gonna "reverse the roles of pets and people"!

BTW- Sliwa took the 8% votes from Cuomo who got 42%

"Democrats are still evil in Virginia.....according to the same people who believed that before this election. They didn't change their mind."

Like you have had time to check in with them. Pretty sure you are wrong about that. As you are about so many things.

I know a lot of people in Virginia being as I was born and raised there. Virginians are not as stupid as you seem to think. Especially Northern Virginians. They are very metropolitan and nationally aware.

Anyway I'll be sure to let you know how they are really feeling about how things have turned out after my next visit.

They just didn't win this time.

By the largest margin in decades.

Republicans need to be congratulated for their brilliant strategy.

Fire hundreds of thousands federal workers illegally and then close the federal government during a critical election in Virginia. And then tell the folks who no longer have a paycheck or even SNAP to pound sand. So that they have nothing else to do but make sure they express how they feel about that by voting.

I bet the Democrats really appreciate the help.

"The Democrats refused to agree to a stop gap bill to fund SNAP and the rest of the government."

That's a lie Fake Plastic Christian.

Trumpy's shutdown is now the longest in history. Congratulations Republicans for breaking your own record.

There is money available but Trumpy is literally refusing to obey a court order (the law) by withholding emergency funds that were set aside. For just such emergencies.

Or perhaps you don't believe it's an emergency.
