I don’t believe Sarvis will quit. He is a liberal at heart and a failed Republican. He is a Keynesian libertarian which is an animal I’ve not seen much so he’s aligned against Ron Paul.
What point are you trying to make?
I’m glad people are waking up. Conservatives need to stop being naval gazers and play to win. That’s how we won in MA even though Scott Brown didn’t turn out the way we hoped we rallied all our resources and won. We can do it and have did it repeatedly. The problem is after we win a lot of us think some how the battle is over when it will never be over. Right now every conservative/GOP with an email list should be promoting Ken Cuccinelli. There is absolutely no excuse not to. Every radio host and media personality should be focused on Ken Cuccinelli and reminding voters in VA what a scum Terry McAuliffe is and if nothing else point out that McAuliffe supports expanding Obamacare.
I wonder if the Obamacare effect of UVA faculty spouses losing university-sponsored health insurance will have any impact on voting in deep blue Charlottesville? Sorry, but I doubt it.
Unfortunately I don’t hold out hope for Charlottesville. However I do believe the fallout from Obamacare is going to make a lot of people question their trust of Democrats which is a good thing.
And we couldn’t find a nice Watermelon to run in this race and pull votes from the Dem?
No. But Sarvis has come out for medicare expansion — his big issues are mostly left-leaning issues, and his support for Obamacare should peal off more of the conservative/republican support, while he should be able to maintain his “alternative to the lying crook Terri” appeal for the left.
Frankly, if I had time and money to spare, I think I’d spend my time in Richmond and Charlottesville at the big colleges, pushing the students to all vote for Sarvis to “send a message”. He’s right on “their” issues, he’s like a Ron Paul type, and that would take a good chunk of votes from Terri.
Unless there is an isolated storm that just hits the area around DC, bad weather tends to hurt republicans more, because democrats are in population centers where it is easier to get to polling places.
