If the Democrats had won just one seat then Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam (D-VA) could vote to break ties. The real battle was for two open seats &#8211; the 10th in the Richmond area and 29th in the Manassas area &#8211; which were held by the Republicans and Democrats respectively. Voters in both districts voted for the <i>status quo ante bellum<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D-VA), no friend of gun owners, is term-limited to only one term. With Republicans holding both houses of the Virginia General Assembly, any plans he has for more gun control go nowhere.<\/p>\n<p>Below is an example of the ad that Bloomberg&#8217;s Everytown Moms for Illegal Mayors ran in the Virginia 10th Senate District against Republican Glen Sturtevant. He ran a similar ad in the Virginia 29th Senate District against Republican Hal Parrish. In that case, he had more success.<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_Yift93qdPE\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Sebastian at Shall Not Be Questioned had a number of posts regarding <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pagunblog.com\/2015\/10\/22\/bloomberg-dumping-another-1-5-million-into-virginia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bloomberg&#8217;s <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pagunblog.com\/2015\/10\/28\/a-deeper-look-into-bloombergs-extraordinary-expenditure-in-the-virginia-elections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">efforts<\/a>, Andy <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pagunblog.com\/2015\/10\/29\/andy-parker-is-a-whackjob-but-this-is-clearly-not-a-threat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Parker&#8217;s <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pagunblog.com\/2015\/10\/30\/andy-parker-should-probably-get-counseling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">unstable <\/a>behavior, and the Virginia <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pagunblog.com\/2015\/10\/21\/bloomberg-to-dump-700000-into-virginia-state-senate-race\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">elections<\/a>.
