Part of Blue Wave that's been the centerpiece of politics in the commonwealth since McBribell's fall from grace (as well as the real estate collapse at the end of the Bush era, which hit N Virginia particularly hard).

"Why can't we get Virginia to just give me their electors, McEntee?"
"Because, Dear Leader, the Assembly down there has Democrat majorities in both houses."
