The VA Senate isn't up for election until 2015, and right now it's split 20/20.  The only change would be through a special election for the seats of Ralph Northam and whichever one of the AG candidates win.  The VA House doesn't have enough competitive races to come anywhere near Democrat control.

Edit: though the VA Senate will switch hands through the switch in party of the Lt. Gov.

I meant that immediately after the election the Pubs will control the Senate- the special elections for Herring's and Northam's districts won't be for months!

Obenshain + Northam winning = tie and D control through Northam from day 1, though.  There has been a lot of talk about Republican chances in Northam's and Herring's districts in a special.  Could Democrats make a play for the Obenshain district in a special if he wins?

No way, his district is R+11.

But he is from the mountains.  Is it a Blue Doggish R+11?  Democrats still have a 60% Romney state senate seat in coal country.

Obenshain's district is in Shenandoah (not a part of coal country now, if it ever was) and has been voting Republican for a long time.  It looks like Ford even carried the area against Carter.
