I never thought I would see my former home of Virginia become a light blue state, at least not this fast. It seems to be easier for a Republican to win a statewide race here in Florida right now than in Virgina.
For 15 years, I've followed Virginia politics from afar.
It get the feeling that Virginia will soon become a swing state because of the explosive growth in Northern Virginia.
A lot of the newcomers are govt employees, a group with a vested interest in voting Dem.
Transportation is also a huge issue up there. Getting from Point A to Point B takes longer and truth be told, there's a sizable group of voters who don't mind paying higher taxes for better (and more) roads.
Northern Virginia has attracted a large population of illegal aliens, and after amnesty Virginia will turn even bluer.
