Virginia used to be a solidly Red state. Most of it still is, but Northern Virginia is now solidly Blue.
Cities are the obvious clue.. full of scum that live and breed (literally) on entitlements and it will only continue to get worse until someone figures out how to end ALL entitlements.
I've heard it referred to as Northern Occupied Virginia.
Northern Virginia has always been blue. The key is to run up large numbers in the states biggest city, Virginia Beach. Bush won it by 19 in 2004. Obama won it by <1 in 2008. Romney won it by 3 in 2012. Gillespie won it by 6 2 weeks ago. There are more than enough votes there to cancel out Northern Virginia. The media wants to tell us Virginia is lost for good because of Northern Virginia. Nothing has changed there including demographics. The problem is, for the last several cycles, a lot of people that used to vote republican voted democrat.
That's the problem. We would still be going red if it weren't for the cancerous outgrowth around the DC area poisoning the top of our state.
Barbara Comstock a Republican was elected in Northern Virginia. So it’s not solidly blue.
>> Northern Virginia is now solidly Blue <<
Then how do you explain Barbara Comstock’s victory in District Ten?
I think Virginia would gone Republican in 2012 if a Ted Cruz type candidate ran... I bet Ohio, Florida and Virginia would have been red.
