"Dead reckoning allows a navigator to determine his present position by projecting his past courses steered and speeds over ground from a known past position.  He can also determine his future position by projecting an ordered course and speed of advance from a known present position...The navigator should carefully tend his DR plot, update it when required, use it to evaluate external forces acting on his ship, and consult it to avoid potential navigation hazards." - The American Practical Navigator, Pub. No. 9.

Virginia politics requires careful observation and continued evaluation - especially of those political forces that are acting to take us off the true course of conservatism.  While bearing drift helps determine whether our ship is at risk of collision, it's dead reckoning that shows us a path to avoid it.
