Is seems like everything that is wrong/corrupt/misguided is being accepted and celebrated. The rules don’t matter anymore and evil is winning.

The problem is, “money talks” and McAwful has tons of it.
VAGOP has to get its arse in gear and take out this sucker. He will have not only his money but the full resources of the WaPo behind him in the top populated areas.

Can the good folks of Virginia be as absolutely stupid as are the ones in Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, and Illinois?
McCaulif should be horse whipped, not elected to dog catcher.

I wonder if McAuliffe can explain how he turned a $100k investment in GLOBAL CROSSING into $18 million and getting out just before...

"the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and its assets were ultimately sold to Asia Netcom, a subsidiary of China Netcom. At the same time, a letter of intent was filed by Global Crossing to sell control of the company, seventy-nine percent, to a joint venture between Hong Kong-based Hutchison Whampoa and Singapore Technologies Telemedia. Global Crossing's bankruptcy filing listed total assets of $22.4 billion and debts amounting to $12.4 billion. If ranked by assets, Global Crossing's bankruptcy is the seventh largest filing in American history."

Theres a name long time clinton scandal followers will remember...

He won’t get any republican crossover votes. He’s right up there with some of the most reviled dems around.

To answer your question...Mark Warner, Jim Webb, Tim Kaine, Barack Obama.

But it's not the "good folks of Virginia" electing these goobers. It's the people who have moved here.

Yes, and the republicans fiddle while Rome burns. I have not heard one republican address this. and McAuturd said he was going to run a month ago. I guess some republican will run some ads two days before the election as normal in Virginia.
