Is Puckett the RAT state senator frow SW VA? If so, you’re right, this should be an easy GOP pickup, and the GOP will have control of bothe houses of the VA state legislature until at least the November 2015 elections.
Yes. Presuming no defections or retirements. Might be some RINOs unhappy with Republicans being in charge in the Senate.
yep, the House of Delegates rep from the area just announced today. I think they are assuming a special election in Nov with the winner assuming office before the next General Assembly in January. Also, not a lot of Dem office holders in the area, so their candidate is up in the air.
