Tabin: "I've talked to Virginia Republicans who are so
demoralized that they privately think Obama has their state in the
bag already."
These are Northern Virginia Republicans, I presume?
Proximity to DC always makes Republicans faint-hearted. I remember
in 2006, they barely even ran yard-sign operations for Allen in
Arlington and Fairfax. You can look at the vote totals and see that
there are still tens of thousands of Republican voters in
those counties, but in terms of activism, they're
pathetic.
