[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As others have alluded, for the longest time VA's advantage was that it was a centrist state compared to deep blue MD. It's gone from a centrist lean red to a centrist lean blue, but the recent election has revealed a sharp blue turn, with a state government that is going to behave a lot more like Annapolis, with lots of higher taxes and fees and inefficient / bloated spending and having to pay for it. I am not thrilled as I liked VA being centrist. Is it temporary or an indicator for the future?  Who knows.

But will say VA has the superior state university system. Well worth having it as your default option. [b]I'd still pick VA for this reason alone.[/b] [/quote]

It's a huge reason for many people.  Also VA can swing politically again if this administration keeps spending like bandits without people noticing any improvements but with the addition of very noticeable taxes.   Governors get re-elected.  If she intends to do away with the  car tax in favor of these consumption service taxes then it may be ok [/quote]

Virginia will not swing to moderation.

They are pushing through with repealing the VA constitution clause to gerrymander the state, with one of the most gerrymandered maps in the country.  And before you say "but Texas" if you look at the before and after Texas maps side by side, the new Texas map is actually more compact and [i]less[/i] gerrymandered than the original, especially once you balance for the outlying areas between San Antonio and El Paso, and the border districts in south Texas where the towns are hours apart and huge swatches of land are nothing but wasteland.[/quote]
