Virginia might not be a full on blue state yet despite electing a Democratic state Senate in November, a new Democratic Senator in 2006, and a new Democratic Governor in 2005 -- but it's certainly not the red same state it was just a few short years ago. Take a look at the latest numbers out of the state, via Pollster.com.

As you can see, the Democrats lead in all but one of the permutations polled by SurveyUSA and are at or above 50 percent in all but two. Virginia might not have voted for a Democratic presidential nominee since Lyndon Johnson, but it sure looks like Virginians would strongly consider voting for one this time around. And if you take the commonwealth's 13 electoral votes out of the Republicans' stack, along with states like Iowa and New Mexico and even Ohio and Arkansas, and all of the sudden it becomes awfully difficult, if not impossible, for the GOP to find the magical 270.
