Allow me to guess that there was criminal behavior involved.

Hey Terry!

Where are you suggesting folks were going to receive this mythical “quality healthcare” that now won’t be available?

[csvset]

So this means a special election to replace him? Any chance the R’s can win this seat?

[KevinB]

Wow, this is hugh! Best news I’ve heard in quite a while.

For those unfamiliar as I was “In the 2007 Virginia state elections, the Democratic Party reclaimed the majority in the Senate for the first time since 1995, when the Republican Party gained a 20-20 split. The Republicans took control of the Senate for the first time in history after a January 1998 special election. The 2011 elections resulted in a 20-20 split between the parties, but as the tie breaker was Republican Lt. Governor Bill Bolling, the Republicans effectively regained control.[1] After the 2013 elections, Democratic State Senator Ralph Northam became the Lt. Governor, but the Democrats did not regain control of the chamber until Northam’s seat was filled with a fellow Democrat after a January 2014 special election.”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senate_of_Virginia

“I am deeply disappointed by this news and the uncertainty it creates at a time when 400,000 Virginians are waiting for access to quality health care ...”

What did government do before there was such a thing as “access to quality health care”?

This seat should go to the GOP. All the House members from this area are Republicans.

Waiting for a RINO VA Senator to defect to the Dems in 4...3...2...

Thank you God

[11th_VA]

Goods news, but I don’t trust the Gov - he might go nuclear now ...

[SoFloFreeper]

Whatever thwarts Democrat plans is good news.

[Fresh Wind]

...400,000 Virginians are waiting for access to quality health care...

Wait, isn't FUBOcare settled law? How come those 400,000 aren't covered?

Then again, maybe McAwful doesn't consider FUBOcare to be "quality" coverage.

“I am deeply disappointed by this news and the uncertainty it creates at a time when 400,000 Virginians are waiting for access to quality health care, especially those in Southwest Virginia,” Gov. Terry McAuliffe said in a statement.

This is a stunning lie by Gov. Terry McAuliffe!

He also said that he would NEVER hold the budget for the State of Virginia hostage to Obamacare!
