Virginia Upends Byrd Wing With Moderate Wins
In Virginia the two moderate liberal state senators, Spong and Rawlings, pulled upset victories over veteran Byrd machine candidates. Spong, a Portsmouth attorney, and Rawlings, a 44 year old devotee of education and banking reform, leveraged midwest-style reform rhetoric and substantial local support to shake the 45-year-old political stalemate. The wins signal a shift toward centrist, education-focused governance in a state long dominated by the Byrd Organization.
