Virginia is a perfect example of how Hillary can lose this election. A whole bunch of conservative rural voters (folks that watch NASCAR and Virginia Tech football like a religion), essentially the entire Commonwealth with the exception of Tidewater and DC/NoVA area, have generally just accepted the fact that the electoral demographics have been changing over the past 12 years with the urban/millennial/liberal growth in those two metro areas. However, Hillary is the line in the sand with them. They are motivated and the liberals in the metro areas are not excited about Hillary. They're sick of their representation being diluted away by the growth of liberal carpetbaggers moving to work for the growing federal government. A good ground game in Virginia could defintely work. It's an uphill battle, but it could work.
It wouldn't surprise me if a whole bunch of military voters (massive demographic in Virginia) from red states change their registration to Virginia for the election.
