Whether you were cheering on the broom, sweeping across Virginia last night, as the GOP rushed back into office, or bemoaning Creigh Deeds failure to align himself with the political clout that President Obama offered, you must agree that Virginia has returned to the spotlight in a bipolar battle for its constituents.  So recently shocklingly Blue in last year’s presidential election, Virginia raged in screaming red yesterday during its governors race.  Is it Obama backlash? Is it left wing apathy?

 One thing is for certain, Virginia is no longer a certain RED and may have lost it’s new shade of BLUE.  Independents are out in force… perhaps just dressed up in their Halloween custome covering their crimson ties.  If you are a resident, or soon to be resident it will be an intriguing next few years as the blue counties to the north and the red counties to the south collide in some crazy shade of purple somewhere along Route 234. 

Whether Red, Blue or Purple all of us Virginians should be taking part in the process.  Get involved!
