Republicans cleaned up in Virginia. They might end up in control of the governor's office and both houses of our legislature. Our only hope is a Senate race that is going to a recount. If the Democrat can pull out that one, then we will retain a 1-vote majority in the Senate. Otherwise, the Senate will be evenly spit, with the GOP Lt. Governor casting the tie breakers. The nine-member Board of Supervisors in my county is now 100% GOP. Last time they controlled the Board they screwed it up pretty good and got thrown out at the next election.

The GOP in our state is flaky on social issues, which is bad enough, but my main problem with them is that they are so irresponsible on fiscal matters. The only time Virginia has not been at or near the very top of the list of well-managed states is when the GOP was in control.
