The Kerry campaign is coming to Virginia. Last election post for a while, I promise (well, until I feel compelled to write another one, at least). But this one relates to my home state, that cranky Old Dominion, the Commonwealth of Virginia. Which hasn't gone blue in a presidential election since LBJ in '64, which Bush won by 8 percentage points in 2000...and Kerry's expending resources to try to win with "television spots...biographical in nature". This has disaster written ALL over it. I mean, I'm not against going out on a limb and ignoring traditional wisdom and trying to steal some electoral votes, but could we please concentrate on spending this money to lock up Pennsylvania, Michigan and the other swing states first?
Though if he really wants to try to win Virginia, I'll help.
