Part of it is that Virginia's governorship has a strict term limits (only one consecutive term, multiple non-consecutive terms are allowed but uncommon).  That means we have a whole lot of former Governors running around. 

Many of them try for the Senate, we had two former governors face off in 2008 and Tim Kaine, another former gov. became Senator in 2012, but some have higher ambitions.  These ambitions are now more likely to be talked about since Virginia has become a swing state
