They will know just where they sit. Have they lost a lot of votes since the election or are they maintaining their base?

Virginia is the barometer for America. Tuesday might tell us how far we have to go to defeat this coup that has been in effect since January.
Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.

And how much can the American public handle?
