:It is a loss, but could a credible tea-party candidate have come so close to winning just a few years ago?”

NO.

The difference between Conservatives and Democrats is that when THEY loose, its ALWAYS the “dirty politics” of the other side, the lack of adequate funds, the fact that the public didn’t get the message, etc., etc.

The fact is we ALMOST won and the numbers WERE trending in Cuccinelli’s direction, even in a state with the problem of DC workers and northern liberal transplants. If the election would have been held next week, McAuliff would have LOST. And that damn bastard and his policies and health plan was the reason.

SOOOOO, take page from the RATS for a change. Take your tails out from between your legs and stop cowering and pandering to RINO philosophies. STOP blaming our POLICIES when we loose. WE ARE RIGHT and they are WRONG. We WILL win and they WILL loose NEST TIME.

VA has a large and growing Muslim population. (Forty madrasahs in 1999, I recall).

I doubt that any Muslim votes Republican!
