Virginia hasn't gone Democratic since 1964. Who knew the way to change the calculus was for Dems to run a biracial nominee who grew up in Hawaii raised by his working class grandparents? A guy who was the son of a Kenyan, polygamist dad and a lefty, globe-trotter, anthropologist mom? A man whose middle name is Hussein? Whose first name is Barack and whose last name is Obama?
