I wonder if they could have been more brief in their description of how Richmond received its ranking? All that reading hurt my little hayed.
democrats rule the roost in Richmond, i’m sure that didnt help our ranking
Stupid Democrats. If we were more Republican, like San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose (#2) or Boston (#3) or Hartford-New Haven (#6), we might have ranked higher.
we helped put Obama in the white house, thats not lookin like a real smart choice in my opinion, at least were not stupid enough to put Deeds in as governor, but he’ll probably win central virginia
I’m a Democrat. I know how to capitalize and use punctuation. Go smoart me!
Isn’t there any place where idiotic political discussions will NOT happen, where people will not attack each other for what political persuasion they are? Go away, and please take your attacks with you.
@sarcaster-“I know how to capitalize and use punctuation” sounds like something a kindergartener would say, or a democrat, lol i enjoy needling dumbocrats its fun :)
Hey Daily Beast! “Raleigh-Durham” isn’t a city! That’s not very smart… :(
