So a lot of people are understandably going to be upset that we lost VA tonight(im assuming we did lose it even though its still freakishly close) but there is some really good news to take out of this.
Just a few weeks ago this was a 21 point lead for Democrats in a race that people were now calling a "sure thing".
Now it doesnt look like thats the case.
Why?
Well, what happened between the end of the government shutdown(D+21 in polls) and now?
Answer: Obamacare.
All races naturally tighten in their final days, they dont tighten 21 points unless something happens. That something was Obamacare. So the fact that the race got those close proves in a very tangible way that Obamacare is going to absolutely sink Democratic hopes. Yes we lost this one, but its not the end, and more importantly, it appears to be the beginning of an anti-Obamacare wave.
