I don't think Virginia has gone Democratic for over 40 years. I mean, I was alive at the time but I can't say that I remember watching those election results as they rolled in. I do miss Walter Cronkite.

The last time Virginia broke Democratic in a presidential election was in 1964 when Johnson steamrolled Goldwater.
