Dems Sweep AND FC Wins Turnout Challenge

It was an historic election as Barack Obama became the first black president of the US as well as the first president born outside the continental US, the first to be too young to have attended Woodstock, and the first to have a last name ending in a (non-silent) vowel (learn more from the Reliable Source).

However, Obama trailed fellow Democrat Mark Warner and only edged Jim Moran as Dems swept the race for Falls Church.  Obama received 70% of the Falls Church City vote while Warner claimed 75%, and Moran 68%.

And there is a bust of Thomas Jefferson headed to Falls Church City as city officials in Charlottesville conceded they had lost their somewhat rash voter turnout challenge.  Falls Church recorded 82% of active voters voting, exceeding Charlottesville’s still respectable 69%.
