The word I got was that "the Democrats out organized us" which is true.
But it's not the reason he lost.
I agree. Hopefully the RPV will let the grassroots select the candidate next time instead of the party bigwigs. Bill Bolling and Bob McDonnell should have the opportunity, if they so choose, to run in a primary. The RPV selected Jerry Kilgore very early on. Kilgore was an excellent AG but not necessarily the right candidate for governor. I also agree with those who said his loss was due to the lack of a resonant message and poor advertising choices.
