The Future Northern Virginia

[Del Tachi]

It has long been said that Hawaii has a pro-incumbent electoral bent.  At least part of the reason this is is because of the large defense industry on which the state relies.

Is it possible that a similar phenomenon exists or could develop in Northern Virginia and other D.C. suburbs?

This area is intricately tied to the federal government, and its not crazy to suppose that the people there (as the government continues to grow larger) will vote to preserve the status-quo and thus their job security, thus resulting a pro-incumbent political bias in the region.
