Virginia, once a red state and then a swing state, officially goes blue. The Demcorats completed a sweep of all statewide offices in Virginia.
That’s ALL statewide offices.
The GOP needs to find a way to make up the loss of VA (and frankly, Colorado). We’re running out of options, fast.
Here’s a disturbing fact:
In 1988, Bush Sr. won the Presidency. The next Presidential election for us is in 2016 - that’s 28 years since Bush Sr. won. That means that when we go to “pull the lever” for President in November of 2016, the Republicans will have brought out more voters to vote for their Presidential candidate than the Democrats will have brought out for their Presidential candiate exactly ONE TIME - Bush in 2004 over Kerry - in TWENTY EIGHT YEARS.
That’s the state of our country right now. Center Left and going further Left every day, and going Left in every swing state. Sad.
A Democrat sweep indeed at a time when the Democrat fraud was being clearly exposed for the low-information voters. VA is just another form of MD now for all practical purposes. VA people are indeed Stuck on Stupid.
Post 27 is spot on. Just imagine the electoral map after amnesty.
It's the demographics. The 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act (passed against overwhelming public opposition) changed the face of America. It took a couple of generations, but the change is complete.
Case in point, you mentioned the '88 election. George H. W. Bush captured 59% of the white vote and won a landslide victory. By contrast, Mitt Romney last year also captured 59% of the white vote yet went down to defeat.
Demographics is not boding well for us.
