The first of the dominoes, it seems.
Let's hope this is the beginning of a trend.

Hahaha. The state went for Clinton in the election. The chance that they would have gone for a republican governor was next to nothing from the beginning at best anyway.

At least there is one smart state in the union. You should stay out of it.

How this will translate to other races across the country next year depends on who voted and by what margins. Political analysts will be pouring through the data over the next few days.
Northam is a moderate Democrat. Gillespie was a moderate Republican but attached himself to Trump and white culture grievances. Virginia is a slightly blue state in Presidential elections these days, but this is not a major election year (i.e. so Democrats don't normally vote as much). Black voters didn't turn out as much for Clinton as they did for Obama, but what about tonight? How strong was Progressive/Bernie Bloc turnout? Did Gillespie's embrace of Trump help him turn out GOP voters, or did it do more to energize Democrats and independents against him?
Many questions for both parties. The answers will largely determine how the 2018 midterms take shape.

And thank goodness for that. Whether they stayed blue or turned from red to blue, the end result is the same anyway.
I also see that Gov. Christie in New Jersey is gone now, replaced by a Democrat.

He's smart enough to not argue with logic.

"Smart" isn't a word I would associate...
