I understand, but I’d bet a lot of Virginians stayed home in 2012.
Well, we didn’t stay home, and not all Virginians are simpletons. We’re in the central part of the state-—rural farm country-—which is solidly red. On election day, our polling place was crammed full of people excited to throw Obama out. But the beltway crowd in northern VA, the blacks in Hampton Roads, and the northern transplants all over the state were enough ruin things.
