NoVA wags the dog at this point. Loudon and Fairfax counties have gone blue since 2000. There's a handful of conservative districts left, but they are overwhelmed by the hoards of libs that flocked here. It's only a (short) matter of time until they convert it into New Jersey on the Potomac.

The only way the Repubs take VA is if voters in Fairfax, Loudon and the VA Beach area stay home.

I think VA will be in the Republican column in 2012. Most congressmen swept in with Obama were swept out in the mid-terms. Virginia has a heavy black population (40% in my city of Newport News) but even their support for the anointed one should slip a few points.

I live in fairfax county. Fairfax went blue in 2008 and then back red in 2010. This county won’t vote for Obama again.

I’m sorry but you know nothing about our politics and are over estimating liberal strength in NOVA. Only Faifax and Arlington counties are blue. McDonnell won Fairfax county in 2009 and is very popular. Obuggery is not winning here in 2012. His goose is cooked.
