and the GOP Establishment didn’t support Cuccinelli much, if at all.

I am involved in politics in VA. The RNC did not support Cuccinelli at all. Do not ever send money to the RNC.

Cuccinelli foolishly did the bidding of the GOPe in 2012

Then why did the GoPe not support him?

“It was a choice about whether Virginia would continue the mainstream bipartisan tradition that has served us so well over the past decade.”

UniParty platform logic wins again.

In the AG race, Obenshain trails by less than 600 votes with 3 precincts left to be counted - 2 in Mecklenburg County, and 1 in Rockingham County.

Also, some Obama character put up a FAKE libertarian, probably as a spoiler.

I didn't see anything about the Libertarian being fake. The Libertarian party did nothing to disavow him, which is why those clowns should never be trusted.

No reason he should have conceded with the vote this close
Fight it out in the courts, expose the fraud, get people out in the streets demanding a recount
Elections are war, never surrender, smash the left

McCauliffe was probably put over the top by stupid white women who wanted someone else to pay for their abortions and birth control. Like their boyfriend Obama. And from everything I have hear, the GOP did as little as possible to help Cucinelli. I am more upset at the GOP than anyone else.

Stunning article. Guy wins by 2 points, and it’s a referendum on all the Democrat talking pionts - yet he was ahead 6 or 7 in the polls right up to the election, and a third party candidate took 7. Does this make any sense?

there is no second term for VA governors, they are term limited. I’m not sure about recall options.

The problem was the money. This was just like 1992 and 2012 when they used pac money to define Cucc over the summer and bankrolled a “third party” to muddy the waters.

If the national RNC contributed just a little more, this would have been a W for the good guys but they sat it out. Cucc was outspent 10-1 and I believe it will be even more when all the dust settles on the other races.

Let's hope that you are correct. But it will take Major screw-ups or corruption, because the RATS protect their own.

I don't think it was necessarily the money. There was no way all of the new immigrants within the past 20 years were going to vote Republican; not when hand-outs are the Democrats favorite incentive. Virgina, more than most states, suffers the brunt of a failed national immigration policy. That is the reason why it has turned so fast. I wish I could say Old Dominion can make a comeback, but I think the demographics are catching up to the point of no return. For example, 1/5 of the citizenship of El Salvador lives in the DC/Nova area, and that is old data from 2004. That is more per capita than any other country in the world. Well....those folks under Temporary Protected Status (TPS) had kids, and they are now voting.

It sinks in when you have mulitiple conversations with their recent college graduates (paid by you and me via grants): they will not vote conservative because of their own self-interests. Check mate. O haquemate, como quiera.

I predict Fast Terry will be the next Democrat governor to go to prison!

I am afraid that she has bought herself obama’s throne. I have never in my life been so dejected over America but America seems to want to die and whither away.

Oh and mcdemon has credited republican cross over voters with his victory and especially due to eric cantor’s ex CoS working directly for mcpukeface. republicans (gop/e) are absolutely treasonous.

The libertarian candidate took 6% of the vote away from Cuccinelli. That didn’t happen at the AG level.

I think you’ve identified the problem. These ‘Rat scumbags don’t just walk off the street and into elective office. The voters put them there. We have to face the fact that with the present makeup of the electorate on a national level, we are a minority. So are the liberal ‘Rats. But the majority of the middle ground voters are going ‘Rat in increasing numbers because of a thing that can be described in two words: free money. There is an entire generation out there now whose majority looks to government for solutions to problems, not individual effort and a work ethic. And those of us who still believe in those things are increasingly discouraged because we see what we have worked for being taken away by those who will not pull their own weight, but look to take from others.

“As for corruption, the Rats have shown that they can overcome an amazing amount of baggage with mountains of money.”

A depressing truth.
