1. Closeness due to TeaBag Libertarians switching back to the Cooch-Hole.

Many TeaBaggers who were going to vote for the Libertarian 3rd partier went back to the Cooch-Hole. Little doubt of that from the numbers. Also, baggers are more reliable in off-year elections, and some Indies and maybe even some Dems that should have voted for McAuliffe may have defected to the Libertarian out of a protest vote. Dems need to VOTE IN OFF-YEAR ELECTIONS !!!

Which will almost certainly happen. Although the gap appears to be widening. They need to hit that 10,000 vote difference mark.
