Reporter the next governor of virginia waited weaded into a group of supporters. Though he only by only 2 percentage points, democrats old and young are celebrating big. High five, baby, high five. What a great night, everybody. Reporter mcauliffe thanked Ken Cuccinelli calling him a principled man but referred to his stand on abortion and gay marriage as reason for the republicans lost.

They watched. They waited too close to call, the map filling up red all night. Then the tide turned blue. I think everybody is feeling a little tense right now. Reporter we were talking to cuccinelli supporters. In the middle it was like an attack ad came to light. [indiscernible] reporter amidst the music, the protesters, the police and then another unwelcome interruption, news that the last counties were counted and democrat Terry Mcauliffe won and the man they all came to support came to speak. Tonight you sent a message to the president of the United States that you believe that virginia understands that obamacare is a failure and that you want to be in charge of your health care and not the government. Reporter this race is called a referendum on obamacare. On the flip if you have a tv, youve seen more negative attack ads than you probably care for. E. W.

Reporter the conservative republican whose views may not have aligned with the majority and who hadnt lost a race till tonight left his supporters with this. I still believe that the greatest resource we have in virginia is virginians, and no election can change that. Thank all very much. God bless you. God bless virginia and america. Good night. Reporter in the end it just wasnt close enough. Cuccinelli gave his concession speech and said basically he thanked god for getting him through the race. He did choke up and also said he looks forward to spending some more time with his family. In richmond, debra alfarone, wusa9. As we just mentioned, e. W. Jackson gave his concession speech. Ralph northam won 55 of the vote. Keen cuccinelli will be replaced by either republican Mark Obenshain or mark herring. Just 27 votes separated the to.
