I’m in central rural Virginia. The area is completely carpeted with Romney/Ryan signs, including the huge ones. I have never seen as many campaign signs in an election year. You literally cannot turn your head without seeing the double R logo.
I’m in Fairfax county near DC. Within 5-10 miles of me the signs Romney/Obama signs appear fairly equally. Some neighborhoods will have a lot of Romney signs. Other neighborhoods will have a lot of Obama signs.
Fairfax country broke wide for Obama in 2008. In 2012 it will be close one way or the other.
Romney will win VA because because he won’t get a big advantage out of the populous counties around DC and Norfolk and because the rural counties will deliver overwhelming votes in Romney’s favor.
Basically the vote will be a repeat of the wave election of 2010. There was something like a 20% swing among independents. This time Obama’s support will be down among all groups. Even blacks. Instead of getting 95% of the black vote. Obama may get 90% plus another 10% won’t vote because their pastors tell them don’t vote for Obama because of the homosexual biz.(They won’t be able to bring themselves to vote for Romney so they’ll just stay away from the poles.)
