1. Gillespie is not Warner
2. Gillespie is a Republican .... and we need this seat to insure a majority in the Senate strong enough to issue a restraining order against the Obama regime.
3. We need to return Virginia from "purple" to "red"...or Hillary will use Virginia as her gateway to the South and the White House.
Come on Virginians let's get this done.
Hold your nose, close your eyes .... I don't care what it takes....but let's vote and turn both the pundits and the current Governor on their asses.
Get up, get out, go vote. And vote for Gillespie. Do it as though your nation needs his victory---because she does.
I hope to see you at the voting booth on Tuesday.
Godspeed Virginians. Godspeed!!
VA is not going to return to being "red." In a decade, it will be solid blue. Demography is destiny.
The folks on this site are fussy. If a candidate does not agree with them 100%, then they get bent out of shape. They are their own worst enemy.
Considering the money Gillespie did not have, I think he has run a really good campaign. For Gillespie to win, there needs to be a huge snowstorm in Northern Virgina and a flood in Norfolk. Cuccinelli under polled and his race was closer one year ago, so you never know. I hope he can do it, but it is one in a hundred (which does happen).
As to your other point, Virginia will never be red again. It has been lost. I don't know where you live, but I am in Northern Virginia and the demographics have changed so dramatically in the last 10 years that it will be difficult to overcome Northern Virginia's and Hampton Roads' liberal tilt.
