The numbers and the clues. Most vote straight ticket and Mark Obenshain wins over whatever. WHO knows Who these people are? How is it He wins and Ken Cuccinelli doesn’t? His name cancels the other in the database? Something as simple as that can screw a whole State? .This needs to be looked into.
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.
