Yes. It was impossible in the House. It was the Senate where we hoped to see more gains. Liberal_Stalwart71 Nov 2013 #3

It's the House of Delegates.

But srsly, how badly are those districts gerrymandered? Now McAuliffe won't be able to blow his own nose.

We at least wanted a 50-50 split so that the Lt. Gov. could break a tie.
