Yeah, I know we're "in the sticks" out here, but would you rather have a net GOP vote out of this area or a net Democratic Vote?

If you will note: Deeds performed better than Kaine in this area during 2005.  We did our part, and WILL do our part this fall.  All I'm asking is that other regions of the state do their best!
