Yep-it disgusts me too. What's worse is it is one of the richest counties in the nation. First county in the country to reach an average income in the 6 figures.

The reason NoVA is liberal is because it is highly educated, not because there are federal employees here.

If that was the case, cities like Boston, New York City, and San Francisco (where private enterprise dominate and where federal government jobs are minute) would be overwhelmingly GOP. But they are not. They are even MORE LIBERAL than the DC area.

Another GOP talking point easily debunked.

First results are trickling in and Cruz is leading Trump 41%-26%. No Dem results yet.
The caucuses don't close until 9 is why.

Nobody said anything about liberal...Besides a truly liberal place would not be 95% for Hillary-who is also not really a true liberal. Fairfax County understands she is a war-hawk and they know what butters their bread.

TX results may be slow to come in though because it's 5 mins to close time and hundreds of people are still in line to vote throughout the state.
I expect those numbers to come in last...there's a lot of rural in TX, but Houston is the 4th largest city in the country - there's going to be a lot of people.

I said it on another thread - I'm very suspicious of this. I am not trusting it. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't trust it in a place like MA.

Well he is basing it off of Twitter political analysts who haven't called it yet is all. He already said it's not likely Rubio will win though.
