Whenever liberal Republicans are nominated, Conservatives go out in lockstep and vote for them. When the situation is reversed and a conservative is nominated, liberal Republicans sit on their asses or actively support the Demonrat.
From now on, this Conservative Republican will vote for a third party candidate rather then support a liberal Republican.
Another reason McGreevey won was because of the Moslem Scumbags taking attention away from the race with their attack on America. McGreevey was well-known because of his close run against Rino Whitman four years ago. Schundler never had a chance to get his message out . Also, the Demonrats had a lot more money to run in this race than the Republicans did. The Republican national party obviously feels New Jersey and Virginia are expendable. But based on what I read about the Rino the Repubs ran in Virginia, the Democart was the more conservative of the two.
Another reason is the fact that each year, New Jersey gets more and more immigrants from the five boroughs of New York City fleeing the mess they made in that City and taking their policies with them.
Another reason is that women in New Jersey feel they have a constitutional right to kill their babies, and a lot of New Jerseyites only support the carrying of concealed weapons by the police and crooks.
Finaaly, the big political powers in New Jersey, the Newspapers and the unions are all democratic supporters.
Finally, Bush II demonstrated a yellow streak when he avoided endorsing and camapigning for Schundler in New Jersey.
You need to get some facts straight.
The current Chairman of the RNC and the current Governor of Virginia Jim Gilmore would disagree strongly that Virginia is "expendable." Plus the RNC sank well over $3 million (that I'm aware of) into this race and send some consultants down as well.
Ultimately, although I've fought the good PR fight for the last few weeks, the Earley campaign was flawed from the start. They also suffered from Gilmore's negatives concerning the budget.
Where you are most mistaken is in calling Mark Earley a RINO. And saying Mark Warner is "conservative" is just down right ludicrous. Check out Which Warner?
Mark Warner bought himself a new "fiscal conservative" image and the sheeple of Virginia fell for it.
