You are the rare, the overlooked, yet incredibly useful dodecahedron: the d12. You are a creative, romantic soul. You often act without thinking, but make up for your lack of plans with plenty of heart. You easily solve problems that stump others, but your answers tend to put you into even deeper trouble.

Let’s start here:
The New York Times: A Democrat Rises in Virginia.
Race profile page: The Virginia Senate Race.
The Caucus: Virginia Senate Debate: War, Race and Women
