The stupid thing is that they could have won the redistricting issue - Bill Bolling, Lieutenant Governor of Virginia is a republican and maybe would have voted for it. - hard to say though given his recent screwing over by the party. But coupled with the attempt to change how the electoral votes are apportioned, its a sleazy attempt to turn back the clock and make sure Virginia stays republican both in the state and the national context. You don't need better policies, more involved party members or efforts at better governance, you just need sleazy tactics.
