This is my hometown

I quote The Boss as I bring you this equisitely timed piece of news: Falls Church, VA, where Mrs. MSR and I make our humble home, had the highest percentage of Dean votes in Virginia. See if you can guess who I am quoting:

Dean's strategic decision almost two weeks ago to focus all his energy on Wisconsin in an attempt to gain a foothold for a rebound left his energetic Virginia organization, with state headquarters based in the City of Falls Church, without significant resources or media presence. Nevertheless, volunteers, many young, continued valiantly making phone calls and distributing literature through the close of the polls on Tuesday.
. . .
But the lasting contribution of the Dean campaign effort to Falls Church will be overshadowed, at least for awhile, by a disappointing vote total. Still, 16.85% of City of Falls Church votes Tuesday (290) went to Dean, way above his 6.99% statewide total and higher than in any other jurisdiction in Virginia. Next best was Charlottesville with 14.51% followed by Arlington with 12.05% and Albemarle County with 11.62%.

Your options are:
(a) The Dean campaign's official publication
(b) the Falls Church Democrats
(c) The Falls Church News Press

The answer, of course, is (c), our charming local paper. I am not sure what this says about Falls Church, given the way voters around the country have been treating ol' Howie. Oh well - as Tom can testify, it's a great little town, notwithstanding its politics.
