I was at the Family Foundation Gala in Richmond. Ken provided the “special remarks” at the dinner and then Ted provided the keynote. I must have missed the lack of association somehow.
Cuccinelli’s primary deficit is with women who cling to the “right” to a dead baby. Female voters are gravitating to McAuliffe by 20%. Apparently that sentiment overrides EVERYTHING else.
Without Virginia, the Republic is lost. I think of the USA in nostalgic, heartbreaking, terms these days.
“If the base cant get behind Ken, the base will be soundly thrashed and kicked out of the positions of power. the base captured control, and got their nominee, so they d*mn well better support him and give money and time and effort.”
Exactly. Between Cuccinelli, Jackson and Obenshain, this is the most conservative ticket in modern history. If conservatives won’t turn out for THESE three, then for whom will they turn out??? Or maybe —
and this is my theory — we no longer have the numbers we thought we did. Like most of the rest of America, Virginia is turning hard left.
Personally, I think any prosecutor/DA/AG running for office is a bad thing.
With a "credible" libertarian running, I'd be all over that! But, Sarvis is no Ron Paul and I really like Cuccinelli.
No matter. The country's gone.
Politico crafted a story that was allegedly bogus.
“Without Virginia, the Republic is lost. I think of the USA in nostalgic, heartbreaking, terms these days.”
I do to. When people comment on them “American Independence” t-shirt I wear sometimes, I respond, it’s in tribute to what we used to be.”

I do too. When people comment on them “American Independence” t-shirt I wear sometimes, I respond, “it’s in tribute to what we used to be.”
That is the key. Conservatives are going to find that out sooner or later, but it’s sickening to see Virginia fall to straight up mob Marxists.
A couple weeks ago Karl Rove claimed that the fantastic 2010 elections with huge Conservative and TEA Party support was won for Republicans by the independents.
The NE establishment rinos don’t need or want us Conservatives or the TEA Party fine, it’s a shared sentiment.
That was enough for me as I know Davis as Republican as say, John McCain, Lindsey Graham or Peter King!
Another big-mouth bloviator, pro-abortion "moderate," who was blown out of office.
One who never missed the opportunity to stab a fellow Republican in the back!
Getting political advice from him is tantamount to getting it from Dafid Brooks!
“He noted Cuccinellis decision not to appear with Sen.Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) at a recent dinner in Richmond.”
Was there more than one dinner in Richmond? Cruz and Cuccinelli were both at a dinner in Richmond last week. Or is he saying they were not on the stage together?
Let me say for a second how proud I am of my friend Ken Cuccinelli, Cruz said. Ken is smart. Hes principled. And hes fearless. And that last characteristic in particular is a rare, rare commodity in elected life.
As Virginia’s AG, Cuccinelli was one of the prime plaintiffs in the Supreme Court case against ObamaCare, which went down in flames because the faggot Chief Justice lost his nerve.
A McAuliffe win is the equivalent of a canary in a coal mine. For the country. It’s Rush Limbaugh’s departure for “New Zealand.”
Yeah, as if that would get Sarvis elected, as opposed to just FA stamping his foot like a spoiled child.
A vote for the Losertarian is a vote for Obama and the Democrats. Sorry, but that's just how it works.
Northern VA is a suburb of DC. That sums up the VA problem.
I would be interested in hearing what makes you think Sarvis is “dumb”.
The media outlets reporting the shunning of Cruz by Cuccinelli were leftwing., and their source was anonymous. A Freeper who was there said it didn't happen that way. (I wish I could remember his name so I could ping him).
Sarvis is has promised to do all he can to bring "marriage equality" to Virginia, and he brags about all of his queer friends. He says we need to stop talking about abortion. And he uses his black wife and interracial kid as some kind of proof that he is "open-minded" and would bring "diversity" to the state...in other words, he's a self-satisfied racebaiter. You think all of that is smart?
I will then ask you, do you think the Cuccinelli campaign has been run in a smart way? Do you think the Republican party has behaved in a smart way?
How, precisely, do you suggest we persuade fiscal/small-govt conservatives who are also social moderates, to vote for Republicans (if that *is* your goal)? Has Cuccinelli -- or, for that matter, has anyone on this forum -- spent time trying to persuade that particular group that they should vote with their wallets? Have the Republicans in Richmond used their majority to limit the size and scope of government?
I hope Cuccinelli wins somehow, but Sarvis's economic positions are substantially better from a conservative, limited-government standpoint.
