If you're tired of VA election stuff, it'll be over soon. This bumper was spotted in Northern Virginia today.
As they say...priceless.

The Conservative Wahoo
The Blog: A compendium of thoughts on politics, world affairs, economics, pop culture and social issues, from the center right perspective of me--Bryan McGrath--a University of Virginia graduate who spent a career in the world's greatest Navy keeping my mouth shut about politics and social issues (ok, publicly keeping it shut). Those days are over! Pull up a chair and chime in where you will. Keep it clean, civil, concise and relevant.
The Fish: The fish is a "coat of arms" for the blog, symbolizing three formative influences in the life of the blog founder. The first is his experience at the University of Virginia--symbolized most importantly by the fish itself, or a caricature of a "Wahoo", the fish we have acquired as an informal nickname. Additionally there is the sword, the sword of a Cavalier. It is not wielded in a threatening manner, as this is a civil blog. But it is there, should it be needed. Thirdly, there is the influence of 21 years in the Navy--symbolized by the anchor on the Wahoo's fin (and again, the sword) . Finally, there is the bowler, tuxedo, and monocle, symbols of a refined, intellectual conservatism, or what I seek to encourage here.
The Policy: I take FULL responsibility for what I write. I will not be held responsible for the content of my comments section--as long as it is civil and passes my own inscrutable sniff tests, it will appear. If the comment offends you, that is on you.

Great find Sally. You made my evening. There's even some audacity of hope for occupied VA.
I think Virginny is in the bag, it's NJ that's still in question. The Dems are putting on a full court press. They do not want to lose a northeastern state. Virginia can be rationalized, New Jersey can't.
Almost a "Cash for Clunker" candidate?
It is all too late.
Seems the entire GOP ticket will whip the dems like a narc at a biker rally, despite the snivveling nanny-staters in NoVa. All McDonnell and co. need to do in the People's Republic of New Columbia (Loudoun, Prince William, Arlington, Stafford, Fairfax, Alexandria, et al) is keep it within five points. Looks like this convert will help. I'm guessing "Change We Can Believe In" turned out to be something he/she didn't expect it to be.
