1. I think much of the South is due for a sort of Virginia-ization in the near future

Thinking about deep Southern states and TX.

2. The shutdown means more to VA than many states

the percentage of federal employees and contractors voting was a big swing

3. I had not thought of that.

4. 64 is an amazing number

But from the Pentagon to Newport News, all of the Defense and other Contractors and the Feds that drive in and out of the city each day, there are a lot of worried people and it shows.

Both Virginia and California have about 150,000 federal employees living there. California has 4 times the residents of Virginia though.

5. TY & Virginia Voters! Yes they do have

a lot of Fed Workers out of work during the Shutdown and they got out and Voted Dem.

Traitor Fired Many of them Even Before the Shutdown.
