He was not exaggerating. The outer suburbs of Washington, DC, are the most populous and independent-minded part of the state. They plumped for Barack Obama in 2008, helping to turn Virginia Democratic in a presidential election for the first time since 1964. The state, in turn, proved the tipping point for Mr Obama on election night: as soon as the results from Virginia were in the prognosticators called the election for him. Much the same will apply this time round: it will be hard for Mitt Romney to win the presidency without clinching Virginia. For a decade or more the state has been afflicted by a bad case of political schizophrenia. Like much of the rest of the South, it had been on a long march from a single-party fief of the Democrats in the early 1960s to a Republican stronghold. But the transition was not quite complete before a reverse movement got underway. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
