Mrs. Davis on the campaign trail referred to herself during one appearance as a RINO a "Republican in Name Only." She voiced support for a moratorium on the death penalty and talked about giving homosexuals the legal benefits of marriage, And just WHO did she expect would vote for her?

Despite losing Republican seats in the house and control of the senate, we gained 3 pro-gun seats in the senate and 4 in the house.

In other words it was in essence a DemocRAT primary in that district.

WAHAHAHAHAHA!
I love it! She admits she ran as a RINO, and according to the article, the conservatives went and backed her opponent. No wonder she lost!
BTW, doesn’t it just show that even in “purple” areas, that it pays to be more conservative than liberal? I mean, even in NOVA, aren’t there are a lot of hunters?

When you proudly proclaim that you are a liberal and stand for everything your party opposes and vice versa, just what do you expect?? Absurd. I’m glad she lost.

You obviously didn't read...nor comprehend the article.
The quote you cited was by the winner, Mr. Peterson. Not the loser, Mrs. Davis.

I mean, even in NOVA, arent there are a lot of hunters? Certainly not in that district! : ) It's smack in the middle of Fairfax County. Lots of dead deer litter the roadways, however.

With one exception (a State Senator) any Republican who ran on a strong anti-illegal alien platform won.
Even the Democrats were saying they were for tougher immigration laws at the end of the campaign.

I don't live in that district, but that was a conundrum. The only reason I could think of for supporting Davis was the "R" next to her name and the razor-thin margin in the state senate. On principles, the lesser evil was Chap Petersen.
To: FoxInSocks
I know little or nothing of what happens in the Virginia Senate, but this new guy who is taking office and who is being declared to have good principles . . . for whom is he going to vote for Senate Majority leader? You know, the guy who determines the agenda and decides on what bills will be voted on. Is this Peterson guy going to vote to provide conservative Republicans the power to control agenda?

Petersen is still a Democrat, but I think he's more conservative than Devolites-Davis.
She even got endorsements from The Washington Post and NYC's Mayor Bloomberg, for crying out loud.
To: ElkGroveDan
Mrs. Davis on the campaign trail referred to herself during one appearance as a RINO a "Republican in Name Only." And just WHO did she expect would vote for her?
A most excellent question that should be put to every US congressman in the GOP.
Run and hide in the closet - and be found out by the voters - or come out and admit RINOhood.
Either way, you can kiss your GOP career goodbye, and good riddance.
