Hmmm. Now Virginia voters know how Illinois voters feel. Take out Chicago voters, and Illinois is a GOP friendly state that voted for Bush twice. Doesn't feel too good when the citizens in the other 75% of the state are blamed for the leftists in one corner of the state who continually override their wishes, does it?
Exact same thing where I live, Washington State. The Seattle area, dominated by rabid leftist democrats control the politics for the rest of the state, which is reliably conservative, especially Eastern Washington where I call home.
