Virginia, Over Time
Greg's Opinion —
This is taken from the Washington Post's mapping of shifts in county.city voting percentages from one election to the next.
Perhaps not surprising that Deeds performed better than the curve in his State Senate area. But the shift in Fairfax (61% Kaine/49% Deeds) and Loudon (53% Kaine/39% Deeds) has to be viewed with some alarm.
From 2005 (Kaine) to 2009 (Deeds):
From 2001 (Warner) to 2009 (Deeds):
From 1997 (Beyer) to 2009 (Deeds):

But the real fun is going to the interactive Washington Post map, and sliding that marker from '05 to '09 or '08 to '09, and watching the state get redder, especially in and around Hampton Roads and Northern Virginia. Click the map to go to the Post and give it a try. I improved the red in the version below to heighten your experience because the Post is begrudging us real red in favor of a muted color edging dangerously close to dusky rose. I have corrected that for you.
