If everything you were saying about Virginia was true, Deeds would be winning in the polls. McDonnell is up by DOUBLE DIGITS in almost every poll against a man he beat by ONE-HUNDREDTH OF A PERCENT four years ago.
Go ANYWHERE in Virginia outside of NoVA, the cities (just the cities, not the metropolitan areas) of Norfolk, Richmond, Portsmouth, Roanoke or Charlottesville and it will soon become obvious that Acorn and community organizing WILL NOT work in Virginia.
There was a movement about 25 years ago to make NoVA its own state, I really wish it had happened, it would have saved the rest of us a lot of money, embarrassment and frustration.
Don't pay attention to the polls at this point. Allen was way up on Webb. The real money does not start flowing until after Labor Day nor does the real campaigning. And there may be some dirty tricks out there that might result in a macaca moment.

Northern Virginia is growing faster than the rest of the state. The larger the federal government grows, the more it grows. NoVA will dominate VA politics even more in the future.
