“If Romney can’t win Virgina without picking a favorite son, he’s not going to win the election anyway.”
Pretty much my view too. Though Goode, whom the Green Party is working hard to get on the ballot here, may draw 1 to 2%- which may be enough to win Va for Obama.
Much better to het someone from a real swing state who could carry it, though I don’t know of such a person.
Cuccinelli would be a good choice from Va if Mitt decides to change his present plans and go for the conservative vote.
The GOP-e doesn't care for guys like that.
I think Romney without Goode in the race would win by close to 10%, just a guess, but it is not very close. Not sure how much Goode will get, maybe 2 or 3 but that will not be enough for zero.
