If Tim Kaine is selected as Hillary's VP and they win in November...

Perriello has a big fan base on here. Could someone please explain this?

Is Lawrence D. Wilder, Jr., a potential nominee? He's Douglas Wilder's son and served two years in the State House.

Congratulations, future Senator Dave Brat.

That's probably one person that would not win statewide, even in an off-year.

Is Brat really that bad? He perfectly combines libertarians and evangelicals, and if he gets Webb and Bolling to endorse/campaign for him, he could easily win over the mainstream Republicans for a strong coalition.

Assuming they lose the Senate this year, Republicans don't even need VA in 2018 to win back the Senate then. Someone like Barbara Comstock could win, but I'd rate this race Tilt D for now.

Republicans can win 10 seats in 2018 assuming Clinton wins (which is likely),
I'm sure they will screw up some races because this is the Republicans so they will end up picking up from 6 to 9 seats, 8 would be my guess right now.

North Dakota, West Virginia, Montana, Indiana, and Missouri are five easy pick ups if Hillary's President. Florida, Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania would all be the next most likely pickups. Finally, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, and maybe New Mexico could be picked up.

I'd say between three and thirteen is the range, depending upon popularity and a possible rally around the flag effect.
