remember all the talk of kerry possibly winning virginia?
I believe Governor Warner said that it was going to be "in play".
WA HA HA HA . . .
Yes, most definetly a rediculous statement
most democrats see the state becoming closer soon, i believe the opposite will be true, VA,NC,GA,FL, andTX will soon become even greater electoral prizes and they will all be republican
Virginia is going to be a real swing state in 2008. The same margin was kept as 2000 (I know it was actually larger considering Nader) even as Bush increased his national popular vote. Virginia, along with North Carolina, are two states where Bush didn't substantially increase his popular vote.
you guys said that 4 years ago.........
Virginia is very slowly trending Democrat, but it won't be a swing state in 2008 without a good, moderate populist like Bayh, in which case we won't need it. Whether it keeps trending until it becomes a battleground is impossible to know, but it will take good time.
