Interesting for you to report voters say that. It is disturbing, because it is so self defeating. The rule of thumb is that the republican must get 40% of the vote in Fairfax County for the republican to have a chance statewide. Cuccinelli just got 40% of the vote in Fairfax and lost by 10,000 votes statewide, so maybe you need a bit more than 40%. He would have made a really good governor, too.

I wonder how many people stayed home because they thought their vote wouldn't count. I think the Atty General race was decided by less than 1,000 votes.

I'm glad there are people in your part of the state who get it.

I think anecdotes are near worthless, but here goes anyway. Up here, I have seen 2 Hillary bumper stickers. I have purposely driven around neighborhoods to check out signs. No yard signs for Hillary...not a one. I have seen one Trump bumper sticker and no yard signs.

Obviously, in 2008 and 2012 there were quite a few Obama bumper stickers and yard signs.

Perhaps less democrats will turn out this year and it may, just may work to Trump's advantage.

I haven’t seen yard signs either in Fairfax County. Only a few roadside signs campaign volunteers have put up. One large Trump/Pence sign that was immediately defaced by tolerant liberals. I’m glad they’ve left it up for all to see what we’re dealing with.
