Gridlock in this case will be very positive.

It’s the one ray of sunshine in this electoral travesty, and not receiving much coverage. McAuliffe won’t be able to get a whole lot of his leftist plans done with the GOP legislature. Not to mention the fact that The Punk has even less political and executive experience than Obama - and that’s saying something...

Doesn’t matter. He’s not there to be governor, or to do anything good for the state of Virginia. He’s there to help Hillary in 2016.

VA legislature needs to pass a law requiring that statewide elections require the winning candidate get 50.1% of the vote or a runoff be held between the top two vote getters. That will end the Perot-inspired Savin travesty.

If they don’t accomplish anything else this would be hugely worthwhile.

God are people just effing stupid. This clown has never been elected to a town water board seat, and has never lived in VA until up a year ago. Comes into VA spewing nonsense and lies and gets elected. I don't care if there was a LINO running who may have helped him, he still shouldn't have been elected.

All McAuliffe is going to do is loot the state treasury, promote more crony capitalism and kickbacks and give Hillary an edge in 2016. The most corrupt Governor-elect who would make Edwin Edwards blush.

Advice for Terry? Resign. I hope he fails, to coin a phrase.

With the complicit media, he’ll be able to slander an opposition at will. Those without backbone will wilt.

He won’t be able to push much of his leftist agenda without the legislature assuming the Virginia legislature is composed of a significant number of McCain-Graham Republicans.

McAwful will mess it up, Virginians deserve what they get. Those of you who did not vote for him, North Carolina is south.

The conservative House of Delegates shows that God is a merciful God....

Interesting that when it’s a LOCAL election like for delegate or House of Representatives, we get a better reflection of the population.
When it’s statewide or national, totally different outcome...
Could it be....gasp!...fraud?

With the Democrat-funded third party candidate, and strong support for Cooch, more people voted AGAINST The Punk, than FOR The Punk. That ain’t no referendum, and it sure ain’t no landslide!
