In this case, letting the Democrat win would put 3 Democrats “in charge”. That leaves the Democrats with no one to blame when things go badly, and they will with McAuliffe. He’s a dirtbag and everyone knows it. Even the Democrat-controlled Roanoke Times refused to endorse him.
It would be nice for the Dems to be able to blame the “ReThuglican” AG for picking on McAuliffe when the inevitable happens. I suspect the Dems will win the office but regret it later.
This whole election was rigged and rife with voter fraud. People are starting to notice.
Had a plane crash not killed him, Richard D. Obenshain would have been a US Senator instead of Mr. Elizabeth Taylor, John Warner. Dick Obenshain was a blue ribbon man in every respect, and would have made a great Senator. I don’t know if Mark Obenshain is related, but expect he is.
I was honored to have known Dick from the late sixties until his death following his nomination as the Republican Candidate for US Senator. Dick had defeated Warner for the nomination, and after his death, the runner-up Warner got the nod for the office. Warner campaigned all over Virginia with his new wife, Elizabeth Taylor, on his arm. The publicity was enough to get him the win.
