Continued growth in the D.C. suburbs will continue to add Democrats to the VA voter rolls.
The fact that under both the GOP's and President Obama's proposed budgets the federal government is spending almost 1 trillion dollars more in 2020 than they are in 2010 and that 15% of all federal money stays in the D.C. metro area does not bode well for VA Republicans.
That's $150 billion more dollars for the D.C. metro area every year; money that will undoubtedly go to projects that will continue the increasing urbanization and liberalization of the D.C. suburbs as they attract more government professionals.
I expect the current trends to continue, and by 2020 VA will be a lean-dem state with a high GOP ceiling, similar to PA or MN.
