You are surrounded by govt employees, not known for leaning Republican. Big govt is good for them but outside of the NoVA bubble, I think we have a very good shot.
NoVA is far more populous than the rest of this swing state, and there have been articles to that effect here recently. i am not saying that we don’t have a good shot, but it is NOT going to be a cakewalk. OH is another swing state that is not a sure thing and it’s not govt employees driving that particular bus.
