In short, Kerry never really had a chance at winning the state.

As others have pointed out, VA was still a safe/likely Republican state at the time. I highly doubt the state was winnable for Kerry. Maybe if he won by a large margin nationally he could've gotten within 4-5%.

VA only swung 0.16% more Republican in 2004 anyway and even swung Democratic when compared to the national popular vote.
