Damned shame Virginia has only the choice of a vile, evil Democrat, or an establishment, Chamber of Commerce illegal alien RINO.

Might as well be California.

That's pretty much what we're left with here. We get shoved the usual GOP UniParty cr*p sandwich and told to eat it or else by the powers-that-be, and the GOPe apologists come on FreeRepublic like flying monkeys, saying "you'd better vote for Ed!".

We didn’t get “shoved” nothing. There was a very competitive Republican primary in VA this year.

Gillespie’s primary opponent, Corey Stewart, is as hard-core conservative as any FReeper. He’s planning to run for the U.S. Senate next year. If he has any hope of being elected, he needs a Republican (of any stripe) in the Governor’s mansion. Politics, as a wise person once said, makes strange bedfellows. VA conservative voters stay home at their own peril.
