This has led to impossible traffic build ups in areas that were already too congested. The Democrats want to turn what used to be a suburban county (Fairfax) into an urban Arlington – Alexandria style area which will vote one party Democrat all the time.

The fact that we have a County Chairman who works for a developer who has orchestrated this mess has been mostly ignored by the mass media. Innovative solutions like synchronization of traffic lights or light rail seemed to be ignored by the present increasingly one-party regime. Also, most everyone in Fairfax wants to live in a cul-de-sac neighborhood with few short cuts that will allow traffic to be diverted from major roads.

Our county party also needs to work on building a far better grassroots organization with reliable lists of who are Republicans (which could easily be gathered from past campaign lists and primary voting). The lists I used to help turn out voters were riddled with staunch Democrats and voters who had not lived there in years. A check off list of who voted should also be utilized. In a low turnout election like the one we had, we could have won if we had turned out our vote. Of course, internet technology could be effectively utilized to do this in the future.

Ed Gillespie should have stayed as chairman of the RPV.

I love President Bush but he is only President for 14 more months. Someone has to think about the future, and the future starts in the states.
