Republican Ed Gillespie concedes Va. Senate race

"The votes just aren't there," Gillespie told his supporters, adding that he had called Warner earlier in the day to congratulate him.

It "would be wrong to put my fellow Virginians through a recount," he added, "when in my head and my heart I know that a different outcome is not possible."

Given the list of Republicans who have expressed an interest for the VA governor's race on the Republican side, 2016 and 2017 may be very funny to watch (though it is hard to see how some of these names get nominated by a Convention)
