49. As of 0630 Wednesday morning, Democrats sweep Virginia top three offices

As of 0630 Wednesday morning, Democrats have won the top three elected positions in Virginia.


Governor
McAuliffe: 47.75%
Cuccinelli: 45.27%
Sarvis (Libertarian): 6.52%

Lt Gov
Northam: 55.14%
Jackson: 44.49%


Attorney General
Herring: 49.91%
Obenshain: 49.88%

HOWEVER:

1. Absentee votes are still being counted in some districts, mostly in heavily-Democratic Northern Virginia.

2. There likely will be a recount in the AG race.

3. Republicans still hold the Virginia House of Delegates, 67 to 33.

3. The State Senate is still a 20-20 tie; Ralph Northam (D), as Lt Gov, will vote in case of a tie.


In his concession speech, Ken Cuccinelli ranted about how this election was a referendum on Obamacare. It was not, except in the minds of a few Tealiban. The election was about Cooch, Jackson, and Obenshain . . . three of the most radical rightwing nutjobs ever put together on a single ticket.
