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.

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.

The RNC only likes liberal or moderate Republicans.

I’ll repeat part of my last post for you:

From a CatholicVote.org email:

“The national GOP spent approximately $3 million on this race vs. $9 million spent in 2009”
