The RINOs would rather have radical Democrats elected, than support the winner and take control. Let’s face it, the Whigs have no desire to govern and if it is forced on them, will do everything they can to run away from it.
The elephant is dead, long live the tea blossom.
Don’t know why this fact keeps getting removed on the thread, but the fact is, this special election is going to fill the seat which is being vacated by the incoming Attorney General, so it’s an important election on January 21.
Right now, the Virginia Senate is split 20/20 Republican/Democrat, and the edge is important. The new Lt. Governor is a Dem, and he’s going to sit as the tie-breaker.
We need a GOP win in this seat. Unfortunately, thanks to the sore-loser Joe T. May, this is probably going to go to the Democrat, so bye bye, GOP control of the Virginia Senate.
I remember years ago when I got politcally involved after clinton’s gun ban. Trent Lott was so gung ho and I thought, “yea, this guy’s going to fight this back.” Then it came to the impeachment and how it seemed like a softball to knock out of the stadium. Trent Lott was on a Sunday morning show speaking so mealy-mouthed I thought WTF? I’ve come to believe it’s all a one party system. Pat Toomey is another example.
The Pubs didn’t blow anything. They cannot control anyone who decides to run third party. Not possible.
It's a long road, but worth it.
