But shouldn't it be a litmus test for a Democrat?
As a rule, I don't believe in litmus tests, but I agree that it would be great if Democrats did more to try to repeal the law. I think it would be better for the Democratic candidate not to come out against it until being elected governor and then make its repeal a top priority. However, I don't see this happening until NOVA grows even more (and even then, it may well not happen). Then again, they probably won't take the state house for the foreseeable future, so it is probably a moot point.
