George Allen Lost Virginia

If you needed further evidence that George Allen ran a terrible campaign just note this: With the exception of Thelma Drake (R - VA02) who eked out a win every single Republican incumbent in Virginia won handily.

The chart below says it all:

Republican incumbant - District	2004 %	2006 %	Allen 2006 %
Davis - VA01	78%	63%	54%
Drake - VA02	55%	51%	51%
Forbes - VA04	64%	76% (no dem)	54%
Good - VA05	63%	59%	53%
Goodlatte - VA06	96% (uo)	75% (no dem)	58%
Cantor - VA07	75%	63%	56%
Wolf - VA10	63%	57%	48%

There are 2 decently heavy Democratic districts (VA03 and VA08). 03 and 08 gave Webb 69% of their vote.

My county (VA10) is in an interesting flux right now. Comprised mostly of Loudoun County, the fastest growing county in the country (an apparently the richest per capita) we gained 50,000 voters since 2004 and a good number of them came from the bluer suburbs of DC/VA/MD.

More on that later.
