Well I am not sure exactly in terms of state government but it wouldn't surprise me. Out of 11 (National) House delegates only 4 are Dems, 3 are apparently Liberals but 1 Virgil Goode has a higher lifetime conservative rating than any of the NY GOPers.
In Virginia the Dems are powerless even the Rat governor, The Republicans have a veto proof majority in both houses and unlike New York they actually act like Republicans.
