The Virginia gubernatorial race was a huge victory for the Tea Party movement. Wait a minute! Democrat McAuliffe won, you say. How could this be a victory for the Tea Party movement and a positive precursor for the 2014 mid-terms? Heres how:

Mister “as long as it’s an R” speaks again.
What the hell is the matter with you Virginia... There Is NO excuse for electing McAfull you should hang your heads in shame
Today’s Texas is not the TYexas of 20+ years gao.
Houston ha s gay mayor.
El Paso a LA Raza one.
Austin is to the left of San Francisco,
Texas will be solid blue in less than twenty years.
Instead of talk they should have walked.
So I guess the real only unanswered question is who will be the vp Christie/?. Any guess is good......
oh I got it.....BLOOOOOMBERG. New Jersey and New York in the GOP column! hahhahahaahah
Christie and Rubio? We get Florida back and take New Jersey?
How old are you? Five? You have that entirely backwards. The GOPe did EVERYTHING they could to defeat Reagan. They hated him beyond belief.
Reagan went after Nixon in 1968, took on a sitting GOPe in 1976 and beat the Rockefeller Republican Bush in 1980 after taking massive crap that makes what Palin gets today child’s play.
He didn’t take Bush as VP to unite the party you twit, he did to shove a stick in their eye and show them how it was done. He did more with a fully controlled Dem Congress to slow and back the federal leviathon than GW did with a full GOP Congress in 2005-2007.
After 41 won Reagan’s third term, he and his Michael Corleon, GW, stabbed and fired all the conservatives they could find just like the current GOPe is doing to “Tea Party” candidates.
Pick up a book on history some time.
He was a tax hike proponent, not to libertarian.
i say we need to run independent liberal candidates under other parties, green, whatever, and split their votes.
it dont just work one way.

Exactly!
Young folks think history started the day they were born.
It’s almost comical the GOP lost their founding indentity.
Yeah, just like the SCOTUS ruling on Obamacare had a "silver lining".
Sure it was a loss. Considering Cooch had to run against both party structures he did quite well.
We didn’t lose to the Dems, we lost to the Republicrats, and they lost to the Dems.
Not by much though. Let’s keep going, this is just one battle in a long war.
Sarvis was the libertarian candidate, you cannot make him not that, just because you didn’t line up with him 100%.
Frankly, why anyone here is defending a pro-abortion, pro-drugs, pro-homosexual agenda third party candidate, is very puzzling to me.
While I love Mark, where were Freedom Works and CFG? Keep hearing crickets on that question. Why is it always party money in the general that is to blame. Everyone is at fault here!!! Can we just close ranks and win a race????? Jesus, I just want to win the races but I guess who controls the money takes priority.
Candidate, yes. Really libertarin, no.
His party nominated him, are you even a member of his party?
Good point. Losing is losing and the republican party lost big today in their establishment effort to ignore a good man at the expense of boosting Hillary 2016
The Sarvis twerp was no libertarian. For instance, he favored installing government GPS systems in private cars in order to support a vehicle-miles-driven tax.
His candidacy was just a way to pull "principled" votes from conservatives disgusted with both parties and eager to feel good about themselves by voting Libertarian. Of course, only children vote on principle. There is no substitute for Information!
I don’t do parties.
