one of the more obvious side benefits of this national cluster f is that a weak democratic candidate in the virginia governors race is going to get a free pass to the governorship.
you really couldn't script a better scenario for terry mcauliffe. the virginia republicans change their nominating process to a convention from a primary empowering activists who nominate tea party favorite ken cuccinelli. who now has to explain that he opposes the tea party in congress and that somehow he is different from the national movement. good luck.
virginia is going to be another election that republicans could have won but didn't.
