Analysis: Henry County flips to McDonnell

Here's another locality that went Democratic four years ago that is now going Republican: Henry County.

Tim Kaine eked out a narrow margin there, just barely this side of 50-50, in 2005.

Tonight, McDonnell is taking 65 percent of the vote in Henry with about half the precincts reporting.

Everywhere we look tonight, this thing is going McDonnell's way.
