A new poll gives Terry McAuliffe a double digit lead over Brian Moran and Creigh Deeds, his Democratic rivals for Governor.

But a majority of likely Democratic voters who responded to the News7 SurveyUSA poll say they may still change their mind.

But the bad news for all of the Democrats, Republican Bob McDonnell leads each of them in general election match-ups, though Deeds is closest with a difference of five percentage points.

Here is a look at the results:

"You live in MA, I live in VA."

"You are ignorant and I would be happy to tell it to your face."

Face the mirror, you jackass. I live in Tennessee.

You used to live in MA. And who cares where you live? The point is still that you don’t know what you are talking about when it comes to VA politics. You live in TN a**hole, and I live in VA. There, does that change anything?

[fieldmarshaldj]

No, you senile ignorant slut. I never lived in Massachusetts. I am a political historian, something you certainly aren't. But you're batting two for two this morning in revealing your intelligence. I strongly suggest you do some research before you open your mouth. As for all your namecalling, bullying and threats seem to expose you as nothing but a footsoldier for the McAuliffe team (or whatever rodent buys the Gubernatorial nomination). What, you're not ? Then stop with the threats, get with the f'ing program, shut up and back McDonnell, otherwise all your infantile 3rd party efforts are to ensure the Democrats get back absolute power in VA and never let go of it for decades to come (or wasn't the first 110 years enough for ya ?). I'm done with you, jackass, because you refuse to listen to anything but the sound of your own voice. Have a nice day.

Go back to your personal page and jerk off to your pinups. Political historian? LOL.

FWIW, Tom Davis and George Allen have both indicated they have no interest in being party chair.

Other than that, to quote the Steward of Gondor, “Go and die in the manner you deem fit.”

I’m done with this argument.
