This is a map that I pulled from the Virginia State Board of Election site showing the unofficial results of the governor's race county by county, and city by city. Red = Cuccinelli, Blue = McAuliffe.
The annotations and commentary are my own analysis of how McAuliffe managed to win this contest.
Sarvis received 145,000 votes. Cuccinelli lost by 55,000. Yes, McDonnell’s scandals hurt big-time. If McDonnell had been clean, he could have campaigned with Cuccinelli and made a big difference. Governor McDonnell is a huge disappointment, ethically. (Cuccinelli wasn’t sparkly clean either, but his failings were minor compared to McDonnell).
30% of the residents of Fairfax County are foreign-born.
This is a good illustration of the lines along which the USA ought to be divided. Let the libs have their own territory. They can take all their “expertise” (of the sort that created Healthcare.gov) and see how well they do. They can also have all the non-workers they think ought to live off their tax money. Obviously, they could fit (snugly) into a small geographic area, but I would gladly give them half the former country’s turf just to get rid of them.
The big grubment employees of NOVA have ruined VA.
The ‘Rats have no money without the rest of the US.
Oh, they won’t need money. They’ll have abortion and gay marriage to keep them happy.
I think that is a brilliant analysis, and makes total sense. The more government dependence in an area, the more it votes Democrat, and the larger the government dependence becomes, in a giant positive feedback loop, until the area becomes Detroit.
Democrats are bringing the the Detroit model to Virginia even if most of the counties don’t want it.
Academia.
Metastatizing Californianoma. Prognosis is bad, historical survival rate is close to 0 I hear...
It’s a mystery to me. Large tracks of empty, often barren land don’t cast votes.
Can you enlighten us as to what exactly those scandals were? I don’t live in VA so I don’t know those kinds of details. I really don’t understand why people we elect on our side get themselves bunged up with these kind of things. Scandals are only resume-enhancers for ‘Rats. If one of our people gets caught up in one, they get crucified.
Something about gifts, that went to his wife. There’s a thread today somewhere, doesn’t go into much more detail.
Lying about his lead was all part of the plan.
McDonnell did nothing wrong that i know of. But the FBI came in ect. Much ado about nothing
They said over and over on tv for about a year that Bob M. and KC took money for favors. After all the things that happened and he only lost by 3. Tbe Dems threw everything at this and barely get a win.
Take that, RINO POS's!!
Never understood the GOPs current determination to win real estate instead of voters.”
Reminds me a bit of Texas. Lots of real estate but massive numbers of Democrats and Libs reside in San Antonio, Austin, Houston and Dallas. Less populated areas are Conservative.
Anybody hear how Walton’s mountain voted?
