Maybe 1 out of 3: Cuccinelli calls it a moral victory?

Terry McAuliffe is a lousy candidate -- he's the guy you need to win elections, but then you have to take a shower, spray yourself with Lysol, wipe yourself down with iodine, then take another shower, just to feel clean again.  He's such a bad candidate that even the liberal Mother Jones has an expose of all the things that make him unqualified to win a big office.  

And yet he won.

As a matter of fact, Democrats took both Governor (since 2010) and Lt. Governor (since 2006) in Virginia away from Republicans.  Right now, the Attorney General race is statistically -- as in 0.013% separation -- tied, but if Democrat Mark Herring is able to win, it'd be the first time since 1994 that a Democrat was Virginia's Attorney General.

So one way of interpreting this, is to say that the Tea Party wave election of 2010 is in the process of being wiped out.  Another way of interpreting this, according to Ken Cuccinelli, is that it was a moral victory for the Tea Party.

You can keep all the moral victories you want, although it looks more like confusion on the part of the Tea Party about what elections are about.
