No apology needed. He is right about the area of Norther VA. The majority of people that are there are U.S. military employees work for contractors paid by them. I'm sure that a larger government would sound like a plus to them.

Are you kidding me?
Northern VA is worse than that. The flamers are all over the place. You need to be decontaminated when you leave so you don't spread the disease.
I know I lived it.
But I will recommend anyone looking for the best homemade organic food in VA go to Kasha's Kitchen in Falls Church on RT.7. The old Kennedy's market. The best homemade soups ever and you have to try Kasha's homemade cookies. Awesome!!!

I don't like the guy but you can't hold what his dumb brother says against him. My siblings have said many stupid things, it's no reflection on me.

I don't see how that remark could ever be considered funny. It does however, illustrate how some people down south in Virginia view the northern suburbs as some how being a "different" part of Virginia. It's as if to say there are "true" Virginians. It's part of the same problem as some people think some Americans are more American then others.

It's way past time for these politicians to just make the case for their own qualifications and stop trying to divide the country and disparage other Americans for their own political and personal gain.

Shame on McCain and politics as usual.

This is so typical of the Karl Rove right wing extremists. "If you are not with us, you must be a (fill in the blank with one of the following: communist, socialist, godless, liberal, Democrat, feminazi, some oblique racial or ethnic epithet, and so on.)"

If as Mr. McCain's aide says, they keep talking about the economy they will lose, then he needs to concede defeat now. Today the DJ dropped over 350 points to under 10,000, and if that is not a continuing signal of economic upheaval then I don't know what is.

The personal attacks that Mr. McCain and Mrs. Palin have now decided to use as mainstream, shows just how shallow they both, as well as his campaign are

Why do you associate liberals with communism? That's wrong.

That's their attitude; if you aren't one with them, you are not American. Well I have news for them, "They are the Confederates, that stand for values that are un-American."

Speaking of predictable. Bob pops in with nothing to add other than a snide comment, and he's off again. See you in November Bobbo.

I guess the pugs have written-off VA. They are going to get stomped in NC too.

They might hold the line in GA but it's looking close - 40% of the early votes were AA.

Maybe Mr Magoo can tell another incest joke and gift Obama WV too?

Just chalk that up to another insult from the McCain/Palin campagin, They think the only why to win the campagin is thru lies and trying to scare people, Everytime I see Palin on TV speaking I have to turn her off I can't bear to listen to that voice and spreading hate the why McCain?Palin are doing, they should be ashamed of them selves
