general Election year in Virginia

In November of 2005 I became briefly obsessed with the Virginia attorney general election, because it was crazy close. I wrote about following it on the state board of elections website’s live returns: differences of a thousand votes here, a few hundred there, among about 20 million.

I just accidentally found one of those posts—http://kostia.net/blog/?p=2032—and I realized something.

The two guys running against each other for attorney general in that race were the same two guys running for governor this year.
