What's The Matter With Virginia? Dems May Overtake Senate In Key Southern State

Washington Times:

Residents across Virginia will vote tomorrow on all 140 seats in the General Assembly with the potential to shift the balance of power, and in local races that will determine how lawmakers deal with illegal aliens.

Republicans are expected to preserve their majority in the House, though their 11-seat advantage might shrink. Democrats could win the four seats needed to control the Senate for the first time since 1995.

The 'problem' with VA is that elect MODERATE DEMs in touch with the pulse of most of the electorate. Yes, this is a strange concept, not easily grasped by typical Dem bloggers; but it apparently works, and therefore should be be ABANDONED as a national party election strategy.

Northern Va is more and more democratic as migration of out of staters continues to grow. If not for NOVA Virginia would still be a Republican stronghold.

"What's the Matter With Virginia"?? You mean something's wrong with Virginia for voting Democratic? And you provide a link to the Moonie propaganda rag The Washington Times? The more apt quesion is, what's the matter with HuffPo.

The problem? People are waking up. If this trend continues, the GOP will get a record "whipping" next November. Virginia is just the tip of the iceberg.
