Fairfax County is Virginia’s most populous locality and home to about 12 percent of all registered voters in the Commonwealth. Over the past nine years, only three Republican candidates, in- cluding McDonnell, have managed to beat a Democratic opponent on countywide level in Fairfax. By contrast, 17 Republican candi- dates have lost to Democrats on a countywide level in Fairfax during the same time period. Still, the Republican base was more energized this year than they have been in several election cycles, said many party volunteers. “The feel this year is a lot like when my husband won in 1993 and Clinton was in the White House,” said Susan Allen, wife of former governor and U.S. Sen. George Allen (R-Va.), as she cam- paigned outside her local polling place at Stratford Landing Elemen- tary School. And even before the local poll- ing stations reported their totals, at least one local elected official was confident about McDonnell’s ability to win Fairfax County. “Yes, I definitely think Bob could win Fairfax,” said Supervisor Patrick Herrity (R-Springfield), as he waited for the election returns after the polls closed.
