So, basically, the Libertarian faction is going to screw the pooch once again - and take what’s left of the country down the crapper with them ... I am really beginning to loathe the obstinate refusal to live in reality, rather to pursue their “impossible dream” - the one that invariably turns victory into defeat, and brings Americans ever deeper into the communist nightmare. If VA puts McAuliffe into the Governor’s mansion, then you might as well kiss this country goodbye - because I think this contest a very good bellwether for what the 2014 midterms will produce - much to the surprise of many ... Some just refuse to see how far gone we are.
It’s like when Ross Perot helped Bill Clinton get a second term.
Not defending the Libertarian faction, but we need to call Sarvis for what he is: a Democrat sponsored and funded stalking horse spoiler candidate who is billing himself as a Libertarian in order to provide a platform and siphon votes away from Cuccinelli.
If he’d actually run on Libertarian Party policies (legalize drugs, man. And pass the Scooby Snacks while you’re at it ...) he’d get less than 1% of the vote.

I don’t mind them when you have two Democrats running -— e.g., Obama/McCain or Obama/Romney.
Here, when there is an actual conservative Republican? It’s a problem.
It’s also a lesson that conservatives need to be small-government conservatives, or they will lose elections.

It’s hard to project anything in the future based on VA when the Dems go all in and the surrender party runs. The GOP establishment and big donors punted in VA. That’s why they are losing. You can’t win the battles if the generals don’t want to fight.
