According to the Virginia Board of Elections, Tim Kaine won 60.15 percent of the vote in Fairfax County in 2005, and Jim Webb won 58.9 percent in 2006. Although some point to these figures as evidence of a changing electorate, Del. David B. Albo (R-Fairfax) has come up with his own reasoning, namely that it is not the highly educated who have turned Fairfax blue but rather "those who are on food stamps and government services" ["A New Political Geography," front page, June 29].
Just how many Fairfax voters does Mr. Albo think rely on food stamps and other such programs? How can a politician be this out of touch with his constituents?
