(shrugs) Welcome to the "Chicago-ing" of VA!

And when you wrote "The problem with Virginia..."

I thought back to "The Lost Boys" movie, and will paraphrase "The problem with Virginia... (long pull on a Dr. Pepper) ... all tha' damn Carpetbaggers".

Well, that explains alot. A large portion of Virginian residents, it seems, are carpet baggers in NOVA.

If we do away with a national capitol, that would solve alot. Half the folks in NOVA would have no reason to stay.

Good idea; treat'em the same way the liberals are treating coal miners..... starve them to death.

You know what I think would be a FINE idea! "Super VOTERS!" You own property? You work Full time for a living? You have kids in school?

THEN YOUR VOTE COUNTS TWICE AS MUCH!

Interesting study actually breaks North America into 11 distinct "cultural/philosophical" regions. My personal experiences have been largely consistent with the map.

@Rev: As a full-time working property owner with a kid in school (well, kid in school for the next week. He's fixxin to graduate), I approve of your idea.
