The Latest From Virginia: Governor's Race, No Change.
Lieutenant Governor's Race, No Change.
Attorney General's Race, No Change.
In statewide elections in Virginia today, two months until votes are counted, Republicans sweep, taking the statehouse away from the Democrats and holding the Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General offices, according to SurveyUSA polling for WDBJ-TV Roanoke and WJLA-TV Washington DC.
For Lieutenant Governor, Incumbent Republican Bill Bolling is today elected to a second term, defeating Democrat Jody Wagner, former Treasurer of VA and VA Secretary of Finance, 52% to 42%. Compared to a SurveyUSA poll released 5 weeks ago, the contest is largely unchanged. There is movement to the Democrat in Southeast and Northeast VA and offsetting movement to the Republican in Central VA.
For Attorney General, Republican state senator Ken Cuccinelli today defeats Democrat state representative Steve Shannon 54% to 41%. Compared to a SurveyUSA poll five weeks ago, the race is unchanged. There is movement to the Republican among women, offsetting movement to the Democrat among men. Both men represent adjoining districts in Fairfax County. Cuccinelli is at or above 50% in every region of the state.
For those who don’t already know, the good guys in the Virginia race (Republican slate):

Good news. Hopefully the leads hold and hopefully Corzine goes down in flames in Jersey.
My local paper the Virginian Pilot is doing its best to destroy McDonell’s credibility using old term papers. I am not fooled.
Two polls since the WP decided to go on the attack; crazy with fear that a Catholic, Notre Dame undergrad, would actually practice his faith. Both this SUSA poll and a Rasmussen poll show McDonnell still doing okay.
You didn't get the memo? The election is fixed in Jersey.
State Run Media think they have a “MACCA” moment!
The RTD today said Dems can’t disallow ‘wise Latina’ and then go after McDonnell.
McDonnell graduated from Notre Dame and is still a “real” Catholic? Amazing!
Doesn’t want to give awards to abortionist Islamo-usurpers either? He must have skipped some classes.
Maybe the WP should run as many articles about Rangel as they do about the thesis...
What elections are NOT fixed in NJ? ;-)
Even the RINO GOP in Nazi Jersey destroys good Repubs like Schundler.
Yes, they do. McDonnell has two new ads out: 1) Leadership and 2) Energy. They’re at the link to his website.
There are lots of people in NJ who are getting pissed off about taxes and tyranny. If enough of them participate, work with registration, etc. it might be a hard race to fix.
So you think the Republicans are the good guys?
Bwaaaa Haaaaaa.
I left that wagon two years ago.
NOPE, NO ONE represents us. There is no good news until we retake our country from these clowns.
I think that McDonnell has been slightly damaged by the attacks. His lead has shrunk some. His response- that the charges are yesterday’s news and that he supports his wife’s career and has many high-ranking female staffers- have taken most of the air out of the charges.
Right, the SUSA poll says McDonnell has been damaged in the DC suburbs. Still time to build that back up, though.
Not always, certainly. In this case, though, yes.
A couple of trolls here tried to post and fool people also
They are better then odumbo/van jones team that is for sure
Survey USA poll taken from Sept 1st to Sept 3rd
Yet McDonnell still leads. After McDonnell wins, perhaps FReepers ought to gather old WaPO copies and burn them outside the WaPO office.
