| 80. VA won't be tight. We have a semi-popular Democratic governor |
|
and Mark Warner is poised to take a GOP senator seat. The exburbs have been going blue in recent elections and will continue. Red exburb, Prince William County has destroyed its tax base thanks to jumping on the illegal immigrant band wagon and is now rejecting GOP politics.
The Democratic party thanks to Dean have made inroads into many former GOP strong areas. Obama will do well in these areas. Put that with the Country's disgust with W and company and you'll get big Democratic wins.
