Wanda Snead wants the same thing for her family, her community and her country: “Someone who will take charge of this mess that is happening in our economy and get the country moving again.”
Snead, 56, and her husband, Sam, 64, run a real estate company in this charming Northern Virginia town at the base of Shenandoah National Park, where majestic Skyline Drive meanders down to North Carolina.
They have owned the company for more than 30 years. In 2009 they had ten agents and two offices; today they have three agents and one office.
“We are very fortunate and blessed to be able to keep our doors open still, but it has been a struggle,” she said. Housing keeps America’s economy going, she said, and “Obama has clearly never understood that.”
Snead and her husband are not fanatical Republicans. They are independent voters who, for the first time, have a political sign in front of their business along John Marshall Highway, which runs through the center of town

I sincerely hope you are right, those people have to know that voting for Goode is essentially a default vote for 0bama and his ‘Rats, perhaps common sense will prevail in the voting booth as you said.
Sounds good to me!
And that is all he has done for 4 years-talk!
Right now, this is not the time for 3rd parties. We have a country to save.
Maine is quite a stretch IMO
Nevada should be interesting.
We will see what kind of stranglehold Reid has with the Mormon Community.
Even if Romney doesn’t win Maine or Pennsylvania it won’t matter. Iowa, Virginia, Florida, Ohio, Indiana, North Carolina, & wisconsin will win it.
And all of this is judging by skewed polling data.

Once O’Bumbler is shown the door and if Romney can push trough legislation to eliminate the penalties for companies to bring their money back from overseas, that would free up what is estimated to be close to four trillion in PRIVATE corporate overseas profit.
If he makes good on his promise to reign in the EPA and Eliminate ObamaCare, that would unleash another three trillion in business CASH that is being hoarded in country. A massive jolt of REAL Private equity to our economy could stimulate a massive boom. Couple that with the promise to limit government spending to 20% of GPD (Should be 17%, but it is a start) and Romney could be one of the best fiscal presidents in the modern era.
Of course, we could be doomed, O’Bumbler and the Democrats could steel just enough votes to win the election.
Right after the convention I was a 100 percent guarantee type to vote for Virgil Goode, but since, I have soften and will vote for Romney. The reasons for softening my original guarantee was Romney picked a VP that I absolutely think is 100 percent Conservative. Second, although Romney will talk both sides of his mouth and I know that. He would sell his first born if it would make him President. Obama is WORSE!!!!!
That is a very ambitious list. I am not ready to go there. I want to wait and see what stupid rabbit they pull out of their hat during the DNC Convention. I am very interested to see the “excitement” if it is really there or is it just BS. The stadium is going to be very telling! I am most interested to see if there are 20K people or 78K people. If it is 20K than they are completely done and we might get 40 states.
VA Ping!
If you want on/off the VA Ping List, please freepmail me. Thanks!
They will be bussing in every unionist and Public School teacher in the surounding ten states to fill that stadium. Look to the buses parked outside and the states they are charterred from.
I am sure that they will start out in the early AM on thursdday, pump them full of coffee and donuts in Chicago, Detroit, New York, New Jersey,and every iother union stronghold and bus them right back in after the speach
True, but there are a good many active duty military who are Democrats and they know that Obama will cut the military and Romney will not. They're not too thrilled with hopey-changey.
For Obama to carry Hampton Roads, he needs to run up huge margins among the minority vote in Norfolk, Portsmouth, Hampton and Newport News. Meanwhile, Romney's a lock to carry the 2nd District, which begins in York County, on the peninsula, and southside suburban areas like Suffolk, Chesapeake and the military areas of Virginia Beach and Norfolk.
There will be an interesting bellwether event in Hampton Roads this week. The Zero has scheduled a visit to Norfolk State University, the region's largest historically black college. The students are back on campus and I believe classes were scheduled to start on Tuesday.
The Dims are predicting 20,000 will turn out at the NSU event, but that raises an interesting question. If Obama is focusing on the college crowd with his visit, why not include nearby Old Dominion University, and hold the event a ODU’s Ted Constant Convocation Center, a 10,000 seat basketball arena. The real answer? There would be too many empty seats. Obama’s going to one of the few places in Hampton Roads where he can still draw a significant crowd, but not enough to fil a 10,000 seat arena on a majority white college campus.
BTW, I heard the line to see Mitt Romney in Cincinnati was five blocks long on Saturday. Can't wait to see how the media tries to spin the Norfolk State event.
Maryland lost the most residents in the mid-Atlantic between 2007 and 2010 — and many of them moved to Virginia, according to a study released Tuesday.Let's hope they're not all RATs...Almost 40,000 Marylanders crossed the Potomac River for new homes in Virginia, taking $2.17 billion with them, according to the Internal Revenue Service data used in the study conducted by Change Maryland, a nonpartisan group advocating for less state spending and lower taxes.
Well, if they moved to VA to escape the taxes, they can’t be dumb, so maybe they aren’t Rats.
There is no way the state goes 10% for Romney. The MSM has a lock on Northern Virginia media. The largest radio station is 99% liberal and uses Politico for most of their in depth analysis. Fairfax and the other surrounding suburbs have had a mixed influx, not just the young and stupid women, but older stupid men and women as well as smarter ones.
The best that can be said for Fairfax is that there are a lot "Reagan Democrats" (or similar philosophy if they are younger). That means they are liberals who went for Reagan (or would go) and would reject Obama who like Carter is an utter failure. The question is whether they will see that in time or not. Many of them voted for Obama.
If Obama wins then many people in the defense will be layed off due to sequestration. By law defense companies have to give notice by October 31st. Obama wants the companies to break the law.
