I just hope true conservatives feel emboldened. We’re not getting anywhere playing the game their way, so there’s not much left to lose if we try it our way.
Of course I’m disappointed, but overall it was a much better showing than I had thought up until the weekend. This was the first time I watched the votes unfold in real time in Virginia, and I realize how much more we’ll need to pull from everywhere in the state outside of NoVa. We need to be ahead a lot more before they start dumping the results from up there.
I hope Cuccinelli knows it wasn’t his fault. He ran about as good of a campaign as he could relying on what amounts to third party support.
You’re right, and there are inarguably good things to take away from this. But like you, I hate this for Ken Cuccinelli. I believe he’s a good man, and he deserves better.
