i guess it will be interesting to see. i am so disillusioned with the electorate at this point. women voting with their vaginas, and the like, i have zero patience for it.
People make a serious mistake when they attribute it to race. It's not racial, it's cultural.
My memory of Virginia civics has faded, but I don’t think the governor in Virginia has nearly the executive power that a U.S. president has. I recall that the governor has some appointive powers (to various state boards, etc), but the legislature controls most everything of importance.
Voting with their airheads is more like it. Did they honestly think Cuccinelli was going to ban birth control or tampons or whatever?
I’m betting on a money scandal or woman problem for TM. He’s a real sleezeball. It will be fun watching the Roanoke Times pretend it isn’t happening. The next two years will be hard on the RT because they are used to hammering either the White Hut or the Governor. Now they have neither nor can they hammer the Senators. They’ll need a strawman in the House of Delegates to demonize.
Exactly correct. Although to a large extent, racial divisions often follow cultural divisions to the extent that it becomes difficult to distinguish the two.
And the fact that he knows that he only won because the other party sold their candidate up the river and not because of genuine, mainstream support. NOT everyone can feel influential and like they can get what they want done when they have that in the back of their mind. I think that and having a Republican/conservative dominated VA Legislative Branch is going to severely weigh down on Macauliflower and he won’t have the fortitude to fight it.
Is Cuccinelli calling for a recount?
Even Jeremy McPike lost to my friend Scott Lingamfelter in the end.
um, Obenshain is LEADING as the provisional ballots continue to come it.....
Yes a helpful freeper informed me yesterday, but thanks for chiming in.
