The Republican Party of Virginia is in internal turmoil. Their only hope of becoming strong is to let the Tea Party organizations help determine policy and direction.
What the GOPVA needs is balls and a will to fight McAulliffe the Thug, to expose his unsavory political past/tactics, and to show the people of the state that they are better off now than they were 4 years ago with the absentee Governor Tim “Galaxy Guest” Kaine (a double dipper as both governor and DNC head, illegal?).
VA is a purple state. The Dems will win if they can get the turnout they didn’t have in 2009. I expect a close race with the edge to the Dems. If they can get NoVA to turnout in any significant numbers, McAuliffe could win with a comfortable margin.
