Despite the Washington Post smear campaign to derail Virgina Republican Gubernatorial candidate Bob McDonnell, voters sent the loony liberal leftists packing on election night, winning in a landslide by 18% sweeping the state’s top three offices, ending nearly a decade of Democrat control.

Drive-by media just don’t like crediting Asians—WaPo Reporter Sandhya Somashekhar who is particularly cavalier writes in her 08 November article, Republicans Still Hard Pressed For Minority Support “Despite his efforts to reach out to Black, Hispanic, Asian and other minority groups…McDonnell’s decisive victory Tuesday was largely the result of his overwhelming support of White Voters…”

Huh?

A survey of 16,293 registered Asian-American voters in twelve legislative districts in Northern Virgina, where the Asian population is as high as 21% of general population, showed an average of 58.5% voted for Republican Bob McDonnell…furthermore Asian American voter turnout was highest among Chinese and Vietnamese Americans…in Election 2008 Asian-Americans voter turnout in Virginia, was at an historic high of 61% according to the Richmond Times Dispatch
