Sadly, I think a snowball has a better chance in Hawaii. I’m afraid the Commonwealth will go solid red this Fall. 2006 showed Fairfax is much more D now than even 4 years ago and there are not enough large R enclaves in the state to overcome. The House of Delegates will probably fall too. By 2009 VA will look like MD politically. Sigh.
We should have let NoVa secede when they wanted to.
Instead, we get Fairfax and Arlington and Alexandria wagging the dog for the rest of us in the Red parts of the state. . . .
