Republicans in Virginia now control both houses of the legislature, the Governor’s Mansion and the attorney generals office. That's only the second time that's happened since the Civil War.

In 2008, in an ecstatic show of support for Barack Obama, Virginia gave him all of their Electoral Votes - the first time in 44 years they were a presidential 'blue' state.
The tingle, however, stopped almost immediately afterwards when the Community Organizer ordered the bailout of his union buddies at General Motors. Then there was the stimulus fund bailing out all his Wall Street donors and, last but not least, the fiasco of the Health Care Bill. It was just salt in the wound hearing Obama call white cops 'racist' and watching him refuse to leave the golf course in order to attend to an airplane bomber in Detroit. (Michelle spending millions on vacations while snarling she 'hated' being First Lady wasn't a hoot either.)
As a result, less than two years after helping to put Obama in the Oval Office, Virginia voted in the party that's going to kick him out of it. First they swept Republican Bob McDonnell into the governor's office where, unfortunately for the Community Organizer, he's been a resounding success. (McDonnell now has a 60% approval rating.) And last night things only got worse for Obama.
Seven term Democratic State Senator Edd Houck conceded defeat to his opponent, Republican Bryce Reeves, a former Army Ranger and commercial real estate developer. (Woo Hah!)

Well, I guess it's official. Obama is not the One Virginia was waiting for.
