good luck in VA. The state seems doomed to stay a blue state.
Take out northern VA and Tidewater with their large population centers and VA is pretty dang conservative.
my family has been in the SW Virginia mountains for over 200 years. I visit often.
VA has the same issues that Florida, NY, Il and other states have, in that the cities are heavily liberal, and the countryside conservative. The entire state is held hostage by liberal population centers.
Good point. IMO, the next Governors race will be very important. Another Democrat Gov, Lt Gov, and Atty Gen may spell doom for the state. I truly don't see a Republican winning another statewide office at this time. I hope and pray I am wrong.
Gillespie is a poor candidate for the Rs, but he secured the power base within the VAGOP. Remember, those are the same jackasses that switched from primary to caucus in order to run Cuccinelli (and lose) rather than Bill Bolling (who the Ds weren't even going to challenge).
Northam is a weak candidate for the Ds, though, so it will be an "interesting" race.
