Thread for discussion of tonight's VA Gov Elecitons Result. Is this too early?
“We need to look ourselves in the Mirror and ask “Why I am a Republican” because it certainly shouldn’t be to support the get along gang.”
Well, I’m not a republican. Never have been. Probably never will be. So I guess I get a pass on that one? I’m an independent ANTI-partisan. I view the political parties, including most of the third parties, as more or less equally worthless.
Never liked the term “RINO.” To me they’re RINWADS: Republican In Name, Word, and Deed.
Yep, the RATS are buying up all the Depends they can find.
Obama is tinkling his pants. That evil bastard......
I respectfully disagree. Yes. The GOPe may have aided in a defeat of a Tea Party backed candidate. They did little harm to the philosophy or movement of the Tea Party. In fact, our newfound enemies have exposed themselves for what they are... statists without conviction. May they burn in hell. I am emboldened; and not the least bit discouraged by the results. Drink up my friends for their is tomorrow.
“How do people vote statewide for Rep. Atty. Gen. but not Gov? Something just doesnt seem right?”
Part of it might be that Cuccinelli got tangled up with the company that bribed the sitting governor. That, coupled with Cuccinelli’s longstanding refusal to denounce the governor after he got caught might well have turned off just enough people.
aren’t there absentee voters like military yet to be counted?
cucc should not concede.
Meanwhile Christie and MSM celebrate his win. I don’t feel the joy, sorry folks.
MSM loves Christie now, like they did McCain over the years, but only until he was the Republican nominee
So Christie you got that to look forward to if you ever win the nomination (God forbid)
If that ever happens, you then will be to fat and to extream
No when your enemy is destroying himself, stand back, don't get in da way of da fool.
Give them a few more goes without us, they are so screwed and don't even know it..
Wow the VA AG race is super close.
50.46% Obenshain
49.42% Herring
96.93% in
20,634 vote difference
Attorney General race: Obenshain up by less than 1% now with 98.03% in.
“We aint digging up 20k votes now, but it wasnt over when it was called. Fox is lame!”
Faux sucks. The Tokyo rove network.
Some of you people here are the biggest political retards I have ever seen in my life. Let’s recap: Cuc had three strikes going into this - 1) Outspent by at leat 2 to 1, 2) Faux libertarian plant put into the race by the Dems to suck votes and 3) No help from the GOPe.
All that and he lost by about a percent and half after being down double digits two weeks ago. I can guarantee you the Dems are crapping their pants.
Irrational hysteria, of course. I apologize to Fox. But they could’ve held off on the rush to be first.
“cucc should not concede.”
Indeed, he should not. Make the POS wait for it till tomorrow. Or later.
Yes, thank you so very much! Your efforts and contributions are very much appreciated.
Rematch next year against Mark Warner!
I don’t know why everyone else is dumping on Fox for calling it but I’m personally sick of their projections. Up until the last votes are counted, no one has won.
Let them count the votes and let’s have a real election
Ewww, thanks for update. I stopped paying attention. If I wake up and Obenshain lost after all I’ll be irritated.
Cuccinelli ran a horrible race. He was disorganized, had no ground game, and responded defensively to every sling. He was doomed the second he started complaining about negative advertising. That he came this close speaks volumes for what the TEA party can do when it puts its mind to it.
