Astonishing result in Virginia -- Democrats win 25 percent of the seats previously held by repubs.

Going into tonight, the Democrats held 51 seats in the 100 member House of Delegates, the Repubs 48 and one seat was vacant (previously held by a Democrat). At the end of the night, it appears that the Democrats will have 64 seats and the repubs will have only 36 -- a net loss of 12 of the 48 seats they held.

That is an astonishing outcome, particularly since some observers suggested that only 7 of the Republican held seats were competitive and the other were all safe.

That is a war GOP wishes they didnt start.

2. Astonishing result in Virginia -- Democrats win 25 percent of the seats previously held by repubs.

That’s indeed surprising. It shows how quickly voter sentiment can shift, even in districts once considered safe.

I figured Democrats would win the majority, but I didn't imagine by these numbers!
