Virginia 39 Largest Company Audited Earnings Were $100.3 bil in 2 Years 2013 and 2012 Combined vs Audited Losses of $62.4 bil in 2 Years 2009 and 2008 Combined

Since Virginia US Senator Mark Warner had two Fundraisers today, Wednesday October 8, 2014 and that there is also a DCCC Fundraiser in McLean, VA on Tuesday, October 14, 2014 which will be attended by both President Obama and Nancy Pelosi, I think it would be helpful to research how the 39 Virginia Headquartered Companies with Market Capitalizations now of at least $1 bil each and with annual audited financial statements filed with the SEC covering all years from 2008 to 2013 have done on the earnings front before, during and after the late 2008 financial meltdown.

The Total Audited Net Income from Continuing Operations for the two years 2013 and 2012 combined of these 39 Virginia Companies was a massive $100.3 bil as compared with Total Audited Net Losses from Continuing Operations of $62.4 bil for the two years 2009 and 2008 combined.  Yeah, that's a Total Two Years Earnings Improvement of a massive $162.7 bil.

In addition, the Total Audited Earnings of these 39 largest Virginia Companies in 2013 of $71.3 bil were up an exceptionally off-the-charts 415% increase over the comparable earnings in 2007 of $13.9 bil, which was the peak year earnings before the disastrous effects of the 2008 financial meltdown hit......these Virginia Companies not only recouped the earnings they lost with the financial meltdown, but they also added another incredibly high 415% of earnings.

This phenomenally off-the-charts earnings recovery for these 39 largest Virginia Companies from 2008 to the most recent 2013 occurred when Mark Warner was a Virginia Democratic US Senator, when Democrats controlled the US Senate, when President Obama was in office and when there were very effective US Fed Chairpersons. 

Below here are the Audited Net Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations for each of these 39 Virginia Companies in 2013, 2012, 2011, 2009, 2008 and in 2007:
