6. This state has been red for decades
I live in VA as well. I was a little shocked it swung blue for Obama to be honest.

I expected close to a total red sweep this election though.

4. VA is eat up with fools and hypocrites
Jerks that work for the government, either directly (!) or indirectly as contractors, running around screaming about big government and taxes and "taking my hard earned money and giving it to the _____." Teabagger government retirees screaming cut the government. The hypocrisy is staggering. Oh, we are also eat up with religious zealots who rival the Taliban.

9. and bigoted xenophobes who are afraid of NoVA's demographics
Edited on Tue Nov-02-10 08:03 PM by AspenRose
Jim Moran belongs to the Progressive Caucus. He's a Dem for sure and not afraid to be considered progressive.

When VA dems run as conservadems they seem to end up losing. Warner and Kaine got lucky and were able to capitalize on anti-GOP sentiment. Webb got lucky because George Allen is an idiot. But Webb is a serious conservadem, as is Deeds (and he lost).

10. 3&8 both lean D in the mid teens.
Yeah... I suppose not losing 100 seats is "good news"... but it ain't much of a bright side.

12. well, having an moron of a governor and an insane AG got the ball rolling
VA-2 just needs another good liberal candidate -- Someone who doesn't do a 180 on supporting Obama's policies because its the trendy thing to do....
