I mostly agree with everything you say. I have been in Va. Politics since 1969 with Holton/Obenshain. And I have a bad feeling about this one. (And I thought Romney would carry Va by 8 points.)
Sickening thought to know that the ultraliberal politics of Tim Kaine are precisely what his father-in-law Linwood Holton wanted the GOP to embrace. Dreadful loss not only to VA, but to the nation when Dick Obenshain boarded that plane. He might’ve become President. I see his son is running to succeed Cuccinelli as AG. We must stay positive, though. Make the Democrats own the current fiasco we’re in.
