Virginia Republican state Sen. Mark Obenshain conceded the attorney general’s race Wednesday afternoon, ushering Democrat Mark Herring into office and giving Democrats their first clean sweep of the top five statewide offices since 1969.
“The recount is almost over, and in this contest for attorney general … it’s become apparent that our campaign is going to come up a few votes short,” Obenshain said, noting that he’d already called Herring to offer his congratulations. “It was a vigorous and hard-fought campaign, but it’s over.”

Brace yourselves there so the fight will be on.

Gonna be an interesting few years with rabid Dems in charge of the top 3 seats. Hopefully the house can fight off most of the crap they pull though I am worried about legal precedents they may set.
