If you live in a solidly red (Republican) or blue (Democratic) district, then the Fifth Congressional District of Virginia might strike you as a moderate area being contested by two moderate candidates. The historically Democratic district, which continues to vote for Democratic state governors, switched when its current congressman, Virgil Goode, left the Democratic Party in 2000 to join the party he usually voted with anyway. But Goode does not always vote like a Republican. This huge area of farmland has been hard hit by corporate trade policies, and Goode has voted against CAFTA and every other "free trade" proposal put before him. Meanwhile, Goode's Democratic challenger this November, Al Weed, is running on his record as a soldier and a farmer, promising to crack down on immigrants, and citing Jesus as the inspiration for some of his positions.

The 300 millionth American is expected to arrive this week, but in a break with tradition, that landmark resident won't necessarily be a newborn. She or he may be an adult immigrant. All the U.S. Census Bureau knows for sure is that a baby is born somewhere in the country every 7 seconds, a new immigrant arrives every 31 seconds on average and someone dies every 13 seconds, for a net average gain of one resident every 11 seconds. Based on those averages, the Census Bureau projects that we'll hit 300 million at 10:46 a.m. Pacific time Tuesday. The bureau's population clock, ticking away in cyberspace at www.census.gov, put the U.S. population at 299,982,501 at 10 p.m. PDT Saturday. A lot has changed since 1967, the year that America hit the 200 million mark. At that point, foreign-born residents made up just 5 percent of the population.
