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.”

But...but...didn't we already get rid of Bush and replace him with somebody who would do just that back in '08? /s

Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, North Carolina, Michigan, Wisconsin, Florida, New Hampshire, Maine, Colorado, Pennsylvania & Nevada. All states Obama won in 08 that I think will go Romney/Ryan.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say Romney is within a couple of points in Connecticut, New Jersey, and Minnesota. I would love to see Ras poll those states.

in this charming Northern Virginia town at the base of Shenandoah National Park, where majestic Skyline Drive meanders down to North Carolina.

The Skyline Drive ends at Afton. This also marks the beginning of the Blue Ridge Pkwy, which meanders down into North Carolina. Other than that, the Shenandoah Valley is full of Sneads.

This is potentially very good news, although Virginia is still going to have to contend with the drooling packs of Virgil Goode zombies who fail to understand that in their zeal to ‘make a statement’, they have the potential of tilting Virginia’s electoral votes into 0bama’s column by virtue of Goode sapping off votes that would otherwise go to Romney & Ryan. If Virginia ends up in the ‘Rat column it will be Virgil Goode and the fools following him that can be cursed for another 4 years of 0bamugabe and the likely end of our Nation.

Then there are the ten's of thousands of government employees that work in DC but live in Virginia.

They know what side their bread is buttered on.

Interesting article, but these are the kinds of voters who are likely to be very disappointed no matter who wins in November. For most of the U.S., the real estate market isn’t going to be recovering anytime soon. The days of easy mortgages and an idiotic run-up in real estate prices are over, and they ain’t coming back.

An interesting but short article. I live in the Valley and work in Obama Central (Arlington, VA). The key to winning Virginia is to keep everyone home east of Rt 15. The Valley is unfortunately not as monolithic as people think, there are always lots of Kaine signs every time including this time. There are plenty of people who hate Obama, but also some who hate themselves enough to like Obama.

There's always debate about which way Fairfax or Prince William will go in each election, but it's painfully obvious that they will vote for Obama this time. They have plenty of jobs thanks to defense spending so the economy is not an issue. There are 40% hardcore liberals, no mystery which way they will vote. The only question is whether the sentimental housewives of NoVa and their clueless husbands will get out and vote.

Keeping them home and perhaps swinging a few against Obama can only be accomplished one way. There must be 24x7 coverage of Obama's inner jerk. That Eastwood skit was a great start. Everyone knows that Obama really did tell Eastwood to go f himself. That is how Obama thinks and he's only protected by the teleprompter. The compliant media will roll the cameras with Obama hugging his kids, but we need to counter that every chance with a true depiction of his Chicago character. Best case is we get him to unhinge a time or two.

Snead and her husband are not fanatical Republicans. They are independent voters...

Makes me wonder if they voted for Obama. This nation is full of people with buyer’s remorse from ‘08.

As a woman I mostly discuss politics with my female acquaintances, several of whom are Dems/Liberals. The one thing I have noticed is that they continually stray away from discussing the important issues (or know very little and can't have an in depth discussion) : the economy/lack of jobs, the national debt, our status internationally, and the increasing demoralization of our military (as well as the economic cuts) really don't interest them beyond a few sentances.

So...what do they talk about, what is the most important issue to them and what is it that Obama does to inspire them to support him? Well we know that it's abortion, and same-sex marriage, but lately, and most importantly to them... it's free contraceptives (which is actually funny since we are all in our 60's).

But, I started thinking - this whole free contraceptive topic was a brilliant play by the Democrats. It hit women at the core of their "feely meely, warm and fuzzy" emotional center because selfish, self-centered, shallow thinking women want personal attention more than anything else. So many of them can overlook any sins as long as someone is pretending to care about them. Bingo - it hit me! So...Obama is buying women's votes for the price of $9.00/month - the cost of a box of contraceptives.

These women cannot see that at the same time Obama has INCREASED every other expenditure they have for their household. They are hung up on that idea of Free birth control...believing Obama "understands and appreciates" their needs (and cravings). It is infuriating.

However...if we can not convince women to face the reality of this manipulative ploy, we must find a way to play the same game and win these women over. There must be something the GOP can offer women. Some symbolic item that would save them that costly $9.00 per month and that is every bit as important to them as a box of free condoms.

How about a lifetime supply of chocolates, with a heart-shaped box of sweets sent once a month? The GOP can play St. Valentine to women by making them feel secure and appreciated; satisfying their cravings; giving them something that they associate with love; and appealing to their need to be romanced. That's what the focus of this condom issue is - giving women a false sense of being cared for and about by the Democrat politicians who are all too willing to play them for fools.

Obama reminds me of the sneaky, cheating husband who comes home late with chocolates (or flowers) to try to woo his wife, keep her in line, alleviate her suspicions, manipulate her into passivity, and cover his own guilt. And the women under his spell fall for it every time.

So, Republicans should just buy them off, play the Democrats' game and fool them into believing that their lives will improve if they never have to buy their own chocolates again! They will save so much. It will improve their emotional health. And it will surely show that the GOP cares about their personal lives. Because right now they are so easily being bought off by this absurd promise to save them $9.00 per month! And, I bet any day most women would rather have a box of chocolates than condoms for sex! LOL
