re: Keep an eye on Virginia

Posting from the Tri-cities, I will say Virginia does seem like a political powderkeg.

The state is turning into Illinois, where one metro area completely controls the politics of the state and the rural areas take their pittance. But Chicago has controlled Illinois for 150+ years. NoVa and the DC suburbs have only just begun to overwhelm the rest of the population.

I think it's far more likely that young conservatives move to Tennessee and North Carolina than try to start some kind of legislative fisticuffs.
