The movement in other parts of the state such as VA Beach has helped. Same with suburban Richmond, as Henrico has become Democratic and Chesterfield while still Republican, isn't nearly as Republican as it was once. The Dems do have other strong pockets.
With that being said, I would consider it something similar to PA and how suburban Philly comes into play there. The GOP doesn't have to win suburban Philly to win the state, however the margins any Democratic candidate (for President anyway) will likely run up in suburban Philly, makes the math almost impossible when you look at the rest of the state for the GOP to win. Same thing with NOVA, the GOP doesn't have to win it to win the state, but the margins the Democrats will run up in NOVA make the math extremely difficult.
