The thought of Virginia turning blue had bothered me for some time. I live in an extremely blue state, and I look towards states like Texas, Florida...and Virginia for a degree of political sustenance...to feel like we ALL aren’t going to Hell in a handbasket, but...Virginia?

I know why, and I know it has been going that way for a long time. I can easily see how that happens being in such close proximity to Washington, DC. Our Founders didn’t want a Rome, but...we have one.

That must be a blow to many citizens there, because it is to me.

Someone further up said vote accordingly. That’s true. Elections do have consequences. So does public indoctrination of generations of school children.

The DC swamp has expanded into Fairfax County and it is so big that the rest of the state cannot overcome their libtard growth. If you track the state election, Fairfax is always last to report. Sure they are a big County, but they have a lot of polling stations as well. No reason they should not be reporting in a timely manner, except for the Dems wait to see how many votes they need based on most of the rest of the state voting red.

Riding the DC Metro out to Dulles Airport, I could see why Virginia is turning blue. Across Northern Virginia, in what were recently virgin hard-wood forests, high-rise apartment houses and condos, soon to be filled with bureaucrats and lobbyists, are springing up like toad stools.

This can entirely be laid at the feet of the VA GOP leadership and the VA GOP voters.

The leaders backstabbed Cuccinelli and promptly ran milquetoast/Democrat Lite candidates that made people want to stay home. VA GOP voters didn’t hold their nose and vote GOP, staying home instead.

The first thing VA GOP voters need to do is fire every single VA GOP leader who had anything to do with blocking Cuccinelli and their last slate of candidates. All of them need to go. Actions need to have consequences.
