In Prince William, times they are a changin. Top five in, bottom five out. No more GOP in the House of Delegates from PW County. Unbeleivable. Corey Stewart must be in shock.

"Mexican" is not a synonym for "people who speak Spanish and come from the Americas south of the US". You probably know that.

A lot of young white people like the social democratic governments in northern Europe. Why not Manassas?

There are two things at play. First of all, 5 of 6 delegates flipped from R to D. So it is likely about the national/statewide politics than the candidate.

Second, the number of Republicans voting in Governors races has been flat since 2009. Meanwhile, the Democrats have grown from 30,000 votes to 75,000 votes today.

What caused the shift? It's not immigration alone, as someone suggested. The growth in voter participation is 56% over the past three elections. But the growth in population is only 33%. That indicates that previous nonvoters are waking up and participating more.

His opponent was a Republican. They will be losing elections left and right for the next few years.


GOP tax plan and VA taxes. Assault weapons.
