"I know nothing about this race - sorry, real life throwing me for a loop these days. But I saw today on Facebook a contact of mine wrote that he is a lifelong republican going to vote today in VA for a straight democratic ticket. He feels really weird about it but it has to be done."

The only thing I can figure is that your FB contact is a moderate Republican who despises the Tea Party/ conservatives. Cuccinelli is solid in that respect. Maybe your guy hates social conservatives, of which Ken is one.

It's just stunning to me.....that a lifelong Republican believes it's vital to elect one of the sleaziest, most crooked shysters who ever drew breath. Not just any Dem, but Terry McAuliffe.

I can't even begin to imagine the thought process which led to such a conclusion.

Well... like Gandhi says, first they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win.

Just voted in SW Virginia. Rural but still a city. My precinct I think is probably 55/45 R/D. Turn out seems fairly light (no line).

Since I am a sane person, voted a straight R ticket. My wife, daughter and son are doing the same — so there’s four more for the good guys.

We’re still hopeful (and praying).
