Hopefully means Virginia is in play.

And with the recent court decision upholding Virginia voter ID, hopefully it will be harder for the Democrats to steal Virginia.

Bad news. Virginia is treading bluer as the DC suburbs vote more and more like inner cities. 12 years of Bush brought nothing to Northern Virginia but leftists, and 16 years of Clinton and Obama certainly brought only leftists. Even the military contractors are now dominated by leftists. I have a friend who works as a contract employee, and he’s had 10 different managers above him for 8 different military contractors, and all ten were lesbians.

The hope for Trump is that he might win over some traditionally bluish states, like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin.

Fox’s national poll showing Trump ahead also showed that the none-of-the-above were as likely to lean Republican as Democrat, so to my surprise, that evidence suggests that nationally, we’re not looking at the none-of-the-aboves as Bernie fans who will simply go to Hillary after the convention. So that’s great news.

I’ll admit one of the reason I’d been so angry at the way Trump went after Cruz was I believed Trump was going to destroy the first chance since 1984 to elect a conservative. (I also was angry at what he did to the public discourse, and I’m not convinced he was conservative, but I have no problem choosing Trump over Clinton.) And NATIONALLY, the signs are that I’m getting ready to joyfully chow down on crow.

But Northern Virginia is the land of the politically correct, like one giant state-university campus. You could probably easily be fired at 90% of the jobs here if you showed up to work with a Trump sticker. And that PC mentality has brainwashed people. Many people here actually drive 30 MPH on 35 MPH roads! (Many do 50, too... but you have to be a sheep to be under 50 years old, and drive less than 35 on a 35 road.)

So, if on the whole Trump does gets a little better than Romney or McCain, I wouldn’t be surprised if Virginia is where he does a little worse. And Romney and McCain lost Virginia.

Were recently enfranchised felons represented in the poll?

Virginia is supposed to be solidly blue, so if Trump is showing strength there, that's a good sign that the state is in play.

Vote Trump!

Things are definitely trending in the right direction. In the last Roanoke College VA poll from Jan. Hillary was ahead of Trump by 17%. Unfortunately, Trump has only moved up by 3 points, while Hillary has dropped precipitously. At any rate, this is the best poll Trump has had so far in the state:

Virginia has become a swing state, thanks mainly to the explosive growth of the Federal Government.

Romney nearly won it last time, hopefully Trump will tip it away from the Political Dark Side.

This is good news. Also I think Trump will win and will cut Hillary’s margins in places that Obama won solidly. Also McAullifes corruption won’t help Hillary.
