It is apparently official that Virginia will have dual primaries on February 12, 2008.

It will an historical event. To quote a Loudoun official: "We have not had a Dual Presidential Primary since 1988.  Dukakis was on the Democratic ballot against Bruce Babbitt and Al Gore. While on the Republican ballot George Bush ran against Bob Dole."

I can't remember which candidate I supported. I suspect that it was Al Gore as he was still then very much identified with southern politics. I can't imagine any reasons that would have allowed me to support Dukakis, even though he won the nomination, and was trounced by George HW Bush.

Just think, it's just a couple months away.

Gadzooks, we'll have polls every six months for a year and a half.
