ITT Exelis Might Be the Beginning of a Trend

One of the great things about the commonwealth of Virginia is its successful, bipartisan, and stable relationship with businesses which along with Virginia’s proximity to D.C. and favorable corporate tax rates has attracted some of the biggest companies in America.

Romney Selects Ryan as VP Candidate Ironically in Norfolk

The GOP is always good for a laugh. As if the party didn’t have enough bad history with using Naval ships as election cycle props they have selected which GOP example of prosperity and growth for their announcement? Norfolk Virginia!
