John, I love your show man...

But, contrary to what you seem to think, the whole of the Commonwealth of VA isn't some redneck backwater.

I don't like Allen either. Really. I voted against him becoming governor after Wilder, and I voted against him for the Senate seat once held by Robb. Twice.

Most of the Commonwealth's population is concentrated in Northern VA, Hampton Roads, and Richmond. Fredericksburg and Roanoke (I include Charlottesville with Richmond due to proximity) are the only other notable population centers. These five areas are generally purple with blue leanings in the north and red in the south, and the empty bits supply the rest of us with food. It's kind of like the US on a smaller scale.

I know, it's just for fun, but man, I've lived here all my life and it's kind of annoying. Funny, but still annoying.

I think that John Stewart really needs to visit Illinois some. There's so much to make fun of here, especially in Chicago.

Dude, do you *remember* two years ago when Alan Keyes was running for senate here, as a replacement for the guy who got nationwide famous for dragging his wife to bondage clubs? IL got plenty of play, then.

You know, how I first read that, was as "that was me" referring to "his wife."

Me too.

I do recall, now. I'm really thinking more of the almost day-to-day antics of the Democratic EmpireParty here in Chitown. Much footage could ensue.
