I live in McLean, not far from Tysons. Yes, Obama signs are down in number, but I don't see a lot of Romney signs or bumper stickers either. I have my Mitt bumper sticker, but I don't see a lot of them in the supermarket parking lots or at the Mall. It is all very low key and eerie. Hard to believe there is an election in four weeks.

I will be poll watching during early voting and will get a better handle on turnout. We have been pushing early voting in person to lock up our base. Huge effort underway dwarfing what went on in 2008. Our folks are more motivated and energized than I have ever seen them. We will need it to overcome the obvious Dem advantages. The three biggest employers in Fairfax County are the schools, the county government and the federal government. And 30% of the population is foreign born.

Yep, and still, McDonnell carried the County in 2009. So the situation obviously isn’t w/o hope for the GOP.

Maybe one pro-GOP factor is that economically successful foreign-born citizens (of whom there seem to be a lot in FFX) lean toward the GOP — at least, when there are no maccaca-type comments from the GOP side (Allen), and when there is no Asian wife on the Dhimmi side (Webb).
