Every so often someone commissions a poll of some sort, supposedly to find out how folks feel about various issues. Sometimes they could save their money; the state of Virginia’s town and city elections give some fine data if anyone cares to look.

While the major media focused on who-had-said-what and who-had-marched-where about immigration; the Democrat-leaning town of Herndon, Virginia voted for their mayor and council.

Herndon was the center of controversy over funding a day laborer center intended for immigrants. The issue affected the governor’s race and the not-so-small town got caught up in the national debate over illegal immigration.

The Mayoral position and six (6) Council seats were open.  The results are in, and they look amazingly clear.

‘We prefer incumbents, but first choose based on opposition to the day-labor center’. Actually what the Mayor-elect said was “They didn’t like the way the debate went down, and there was the feeling that they were not heard.”

Maybe some of our state politicos who are running (George, are you listening) will take note of this and take a stand on illegal immigration.
