That is why putting a focus group there is utterly useless. They may have been undecideds, but they're likely to have a preference for Kaine due to him defending and bringing up statistics relating to Virginia. And it doesn't matter, as Virginia is absolutely staying blue.
So are you basically saying that Virginia is solid blue state now?
I'm not, but Virginia loves Tim Kaine. Tim is in his home state, speaking to people who have seen the benefits of his work. Of course there'd be a little leeway for his debate performance.

We wont know until next month. Its still an important state to win so dismissing the independents who vote there is a bit ignorant.
Kaine missed a lot of opportunities and interrupted a lot in the beginning.
That said, I agree with Paul Begala that Pence through Trump under the bus and is looking for his own run in 2020.
Begala and the Dems wanted Pence to waste time defending Trump b/c that's what they wanted the debate to be about. Never do what your opponent wants you yo do. Pence played it smart by sticking to the issues. Trumps comments have been debated in the media ad nauseam. No point in debating it there.
I guess they're shocked at how badly Kaine did.
Gives useless credence to the "CNN biased polls" theory the Trump campaign keeps floating.
