What is Sarvis offering that Cooch isn’t? Whatever it is, Cuccinelli should offer it too. McCommie needs to lose at all cost.
The problem we’ve faced is that McAuliffe is running ads lying claiming Cuccinelli is going to ban birth control and that he is anti woman which is just not true. Sarvis for most is a protest vote. Its nothing he is offering. He does have a few interesting ideas about Doctors and growing the number of health care professionals but mostly the guy just goes on about gay marriage. The irony in this race the only two candidates obsessing on social issues are McAuliffe and Sarvis.
Mark Levin railed against Sarvis for being a LINO...not being for lowering taxes, not having a plan to cut spending, not being against Obamacare, etc. Levin argued convincingly that Cuccinelli is not only more libertarian than Sarvis but might become the most libertarian governor in the country based on his positions.
I’ve been saying for years we need runoff elections, or instant runoff ballots, to prevent this 3rd party spoiling. The Dems are going to learn sooner or later that if they ask a few of their big donors to fund the libertarians as a spoiler, they can slaughter Repubs, and make us virtually extinct. This is only possible when someone is allowed to be elected without having received 50% of the vote. If there was no runoff between Cruz and Dewhurst, Dewhurst would have won with almost the same numbers as McAuliffe has now. The runoff forced Cruz and Dewhurst into a two-man race, which Cruz won handily, while Dewhurst’s numbers stayed where they were in the first round.
Introduce some form of runoff elections in most races, or the Republicans are going to be doomed to extinction even though a majority of voters would never elect that many Dems to power otherwise.
