I was in Manassas right outside DC recently and went yard sale-ing. There were hundreds 750k homes occupied by foreigners who barely spoke English. I think I see how Romney lost Virginia.
I was in Washington for a Free Republic Patriots’ Rally back in 2002...my wife and I thought we were in the damn Middle East on the way back to our car via subway. Couldn’t get away from there fast enough.
Manassas is a bit far afield. When I think of ‘right outside DC’ I think of Arlington, Bethesda, maybe Alexandria...
