Well, I know that the Virginia Republican Party is puffing out their chests this morning because a 70 year tradition has been continued of electing governors from the party that does not hold the White House, and, well, the Repubs should be happy...

Problem is that over the last two Dem administrations the Repubs in the General Assmbly in Richmond have blocked every attempt to raise money for roads and Virginia's roads, especially in NoVa, suck...

Now it's going to be very interesting because Governor-Elect McDonnald has promised to fix the roads???

Hmmmmmmm??? Where's he going to get the dough??? Beg it off Obama??? I think not... No, now that the Repubs will have both the legislature and the Governorship I predict that one of two things will occur:

1. The roads won't get fixed and fall into further ruin, or...

... 2. The Repubs will decide, like during the Bush administration, that being fiscal hawks only applies when there is a Democrat in the Governor's Mansion...

Either way, oughtta be very interesting...

BTW, I voted for the Dem but am delighted to see the Repubs stuck with these roads... Absolutely delighted... Have at it, boys...
