Given redistricting, gun rights, and other long-term issues, this is the time to vote Ed Gillespie, with or without enthusiasm. The time to challenge moderates was in the primary. During the general election, we have to take the best choice we’ve got.

And for purists? During WW2, we allied with Stalin of all people, because that soviet socialist was slightly less of a danger than the national socialist we fought against. If we can side with Joseph Stalin, who was almost as far left and as anti-American as Hillary Clinton, we can side with Ed Gillespie.

Northam agrees with me on about 20% of issues. Gillespie agrees with me on about 80% of issues, including all of those that Northam got right.

Or as the greatest President of the last 150 years said:

“The person who agrees with you 80 percent of the time is a friend and an ally - not a 20 percent traitor.”
- President Ronald Reagan

1. I agree that voting for Gillespie is a must for conservatives.
2. With regards to Reagan's quote, there has to be a additional factor apply; specifically, if I agree with someone on 99% of the issues, but that 1% is/are issue(s) that will kill my country, then I cannot support that person or call him a friend and ally. Amnesty is such an issue.
