Yes, always. I have watched many races in this state and I live in Fairfax County. This county is always the last one to report - it has been this way for a long long time. Most of the precincts out belong to democrats...therefore Cooch looses. It's horrible, but I'm getting used to it now.

Let’s give thanks to all the GOPe who really screwed up this race. I’m going to name names:

1. Bill Bolling
2. RNC
3. The mayor of Virginia Beach

And all of the usual “moderate” GOP who endorsed McAuliffe.

What ever happened to Fairfax County? They used to boast a high standard of living, some of the best public schools in the country (city and county), yet kept taxes low.

Then one day, people from Maryland noticed the disaster they had created around them, and then looked at Fairfax as the place to be. Yet once they moved in, they immediately began destroying the county, just as they had done in Gaithersburg, Bethesda, Rockville, Laurel, etc.

They should have blown up every last bridge across the Potomac the moment they announced an end to Reconstruction.
