Thread for discussion of tonight's VA Gov Elecitons Result. Is this too early?
PIAPS?
It is like a kick in the gut. I visited Virginia when I was young, have always wanted to go back. I always loved reading the old history book about Virginia. But I do think we can take some heart that it wasn’t a blow out like the Dems wanted us to believe. I don’t think they ever truly believed that, or Obama, Bill & Hill would not have wasted their time among the unwashed liberals.
Who is the Attorney General who may have won?
"Congrats on your victory -- helping get McAwful elected to steal the election for Hillary in Virginia in 2016! I will NEVER give you another dime! And after ** years as a registered Republican -- when I became old enough to vote in my first election and proudly voted for Ronald Reagan -- I WILL be re-registering as an Independent in the next few days! You had better decide if your enemy #1 is the DimocRATS and 0bama, or the TEA Party, Conservative wing of your Party! But I am *SO* DONE WITH THE REPUBLICAN, BIG GOVERNMENT, RINO PARTY!! D.O.N.E!"
Mine too! I am so pissed off my 62 year old body would give Rove and friends the beating of their lives if they were at my house. :-}
That fat Cheshire cat Rove can smile all he wants. His stripes are well known, by now.
I still don’t see how all these news networks can call it on such a small margin. We still have 9% yet to report. Are they saying the 8% of gays in the country are irrelevent as well, lol. There are always precincts late to report for whatever reason. All of a sudden, everyone’s totally sure.
It doesn’t mnatter if an election is close unless a Republican wins. Did JFK’s small popular vote margin keep him from acting out his liberal instincts? But eight years later, Nixon’s small popular vote margin kept him moderate and hesitant.
Obama is dead to the RAT voters. This is all about the return of the Clinton era.
Anyone who doesn't think the dems are systematically cheating is simply unaware of the situation on the ground in dem strongholds. I'm in Illinois, and I've done election law, actually beat a Mike Madigan attorney to get an independent black woman on the ballot near Chicago. She didn't win, but she knew the cheating techniques and beat most of them up front. What she couldn't overcome was the cultural intimidation. Fear-filled people would come up to her and say, in so many words, they would have supported her, but they need to keep their jobs, etc.
You combine that with the litany of other factors, such as low information voters, disinterested voters, otherwise intelligent but systematically propagandized voters, etc., and it's difficult to overcome if you don't address it head on. What we lack in this generation (not everyone, but enough to matter) is courage. If we don't face these realities and find creative and EFFECTIVE ways of dealing with them, we will be in for a long hard winter.
The left is very good at cheating and they know the GOPe will never call them on it, especially since the GOPe didn't support their nominee in the first place
However.....IMHO.....even if MacAuliffe wins.....Obama/Biden, The Clintons gain zilch!!! Why? They all believed MacAuliffe would wipe out KC....he did not!!! The polls were all well off the mark, why? Because significant numbers of rank and file Democrats voted for KC!!! End of story!!!
Exactly!
All the Rats are very nervous tonight. They’ll be jumping off Obama’s ship like the rats they are.
No we loose big time. State Cash flow to Unions and their jobs and dues flow to the 2016 candidate and the electoral votes. The E-GOP, Rove and all that didn’t help are to blame imho...
Yes, this appears to be another in the long list of winnable battles the surrender party choose not to join. I can’t wait to hear what KC has to say about Cantor. His lack of support might very well have cost KC and the GOP the election.
True. We’ve accepted the PC of unlimited immigration. Legal and illegal. They didn’t go our way. Voter fraud plays a big part too.
The assh0les on the left would have liked it a whole lot less if they had actually lost the election. As it is they're happy as pigs in muck. If we can't win a race like this, what can we win? The scales have tipped against us. I could throw-up.
Easy win? Who’s side are you on. This was supposed to be a McA blowout.
Agree. While I can’t say I feel good about the results tonight, it could have been much, much worse.
There are some reasons for hope.
Tea Party candidates are not dead. With even a little bit of support from the GOPe, KC would have actually won tonight.
Ideally, we learn from this and continue to grow.
PIAPS is Pig In A Pant Suit aka Hillary Clinton
This TEXAN as well. Tonight just shows we got to work our butts off and take nothing for granted!
Mark Obenshain.
I was born and raised here....I’ve never been ashamed to be a Virginian until now.
