We pray Your continued blessings on our leaders of this great Commonwealth. We invoke Thy holy presence in this historic chamber and ask a special blessing on its members and leadership as they continue their deliberations for the common good. We ask that Thou would give wisdom and strength to this Senate that they may be responsible and wise, courageous and strong. And guide the people to expect of them and support them in wise legislation that this Commonwealth and its people may continue to prosper. We ask a special prayer for those whose responsibilities take them from families as they travel to this historic place. Guard and protect the homes and families they leave behind.

    Sabato Highlights✰✰✰ 2 ✰The 2000 Republican ✰✰ ✰Presidential Primary Virginia Finally Matters in Presidential Nominating Politics Overall ☑ The 2000 Republican presidential primary was only the second held in a cen- tury in Virginia (the fi rst being 1988), and it was the fi rst where delegates were actually allocated for the national nominating convention. ☑ Thanks to the strong support of Governor Jim Gilmore and others, Texas Governor George W. Bush won by almost nine percentage points, 52.8 percent to 43.9 percent for Arizona U.S. Senator John McCain. The Virginia victory was a critical step in Bush turning back McCain’s fi erce challenge for the GOP presidential nod. ☑ In part because of Governor Gilmore’s role in the February 29, 2000 primary, President- elect Bush named Gilmore the Republican National Committee chairman aft er the November election. Republican Presidential Primary Election Results ☑ Bush built his Virginia majority in the conservative areas of the state, leaving McCain to garner wins only in moderate Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads, where the retired military population appeared to back him. ☑ Though modest in overall size, the Bush majority was broadly based, including 88 of 95 counties and 29 of 39 cities. ☑ Bush was the choice of nearly seven of 10 Republicans, while McCain attracted 87 percent of the Democrats and 64 percent of the Independents voting in Virginia’s “open primary” (open to any registered voter, essentially). Luckily for Bush, the electorate was heavily GOP (63 percent), compared to 29 percent Independent and only eight percent Democratic. Voter Breakdowns ☑ McCain and Bush split male voters about equally, while women tilted heavily to Bush, 57 percent to 41 percent for McCain.

    Sabato Highlights✰✰✰ 4 ✰The 2001 Statewide Nominations✰✰ ✰Gubernatorial Twist: Democratic Unity, Republican Division Overall ☑ The political parties traded places in 2001. The GOP, generally united for the past eight years, hosted a divisive convention contest for its gubernatorial nom- ination between Attorney General Mark Earley, the eventual nominee, and Lieutenant Governor John Hager. Meanwhile, the Democrats, who had suf- fered from many crippling internecine battles during the 1990’s, joined hands to nominate their wealthy former party chair, Mark Warner, in an unopposed primary. The Republican Convention ☑ Mark Earley won about 49 percent of the elected convention delegates to 39 percent for John Hager, with 12 percent undecided or unpledged. At the actual convention, though, proportionately more Earley delegates attended, and he won at least 62 percent of the never- announced vote tally. Hager conceded and worked for Earley, but many of his fi nancial supporters did not. ☑ Delegate Jay Katzen won the nomination for lieutenant governor unopposed. Also unopposed for the attorney general slot on the ticket was former Secretary of Public Safety Jerry Kilgore. The Democratic Primary ☑ A dismal turnout of 4.1 percent of the registered voters chose the running- mates for Mark Warner in a statewide primary election on June 12, 2001. ☑ Richmond Mayor Tim Kaine won the lieutenant governor nomination with a bit less than 40 percent of the vote, defeating two delegates from Hampton Roads, Alan Diamonstein and Jerrauld Jones. ☑ Delegate Donald McEachin of the Richmond area squeaked to victory with just 33.7 percent of the votes—the smallest winning percentage for any statewide candidate in either party since the primary was founded in 1905.

    Arlington County Election Results The following information has been compiled from Electoral Board records and historical news sources.

Vote tallies given are votes cast in Arlington County only, except if noted otherwise. The Arlington County Electoral Board and Office of Voter Registration welcomes any known additions or corrections to the listing below. The Electoral Board has sample ballots available from 1950, when we first started using voting machines, onward. Complete election results by precinct are available from 1971 onward, with some tallies available for earlier years. The rest of the information was obtained from newspaper archives and other historical records. When known, political party affilliation is indicated, although it did not appear on the ballot until 2001, and then only for federal and state offices.

    Sabato Highlights✰✰✰ 5 ✰The 2001General Election ✰✰ ✰Democrats Recapture Governorship after Eight Years Out Overall ☑ Aft er eight years out of power, the Democrats reclaimed the governorship with Mark Warner and also secured the lieutenant governor’s post with Tim Kaine. Both won narrow victories, 52.2 percent for Warner and 50.3 percent for Kaine. ☑ The Republicans triumphed in down- ballot races, however. Jerry Kilgore cap- tured the offi ce of attorney general with the largest statewide percentage of the winners, 60 percent. And the GOP collected a startling 64 seats out of 100 in the House of Delegates (66, counting two conservative Independents who usu- ally vote with the Republicans). It was only in 1999 that Republicans elected their fi rst House of Delegates majority, a “mere” 53 seats. Redistricting earlier in 2001 produced most of the electoral gains, of course. Statewide Offi ces ☑ Over 1.9 million Virginians cast ballots in 2001, an eight percent gain from the last governor’s election in 1997 but only 46 percent of registered voters and 36 percent of those aged 18 and older. ☑ Warner and Kaine won over six in ten votes in the more liberal central cities, but McEachin secured a surprisingly low 54 percent in the cities. Warner nar- rowly won suburban Virginia and also scored a breakthrough in the rural areas, with over 51 percent of their votes. Kilgore swamped McEachin in both the rural areas and the suburbs. Katzen garnered small margins in both rural and suburban areas, but it could not overcome Kaine’s large central- city majority.
