MSNBC can now project that Democratic candidate, Terry McAuliffe, is now going to be the Governor of the Commonwealth! 91% of the precincts are reporting and McAuliffe leads 47% (912,667) to Cuccinelli's 46% (907,582). As a result of this, Democrats going into the 2014 midterms will hold 21 Governor's seats while Republicans only 29 now.
Also, the newest Lieutenant Governor, no surprise will be Democrat, Ralph Northam which means not only is the Governorship going blue, but so is the Virginia State Senate! No word yet on the balance of power in the Virginia House of Delegates.
However, Obenshain/Herring is still too close to call with Obenshain having a very small lead. It's just questionable whether or not Obenshain can hold that lead and can hold onto the Attorney General's seat for the Republicans, or if that will also fall to the Democrats tonight.
