If that is the extent of what they have, I think he can defuse this if he handles it right. My concern is that he'll fall into the ‘Rat-media trap that Mourdock and Akin fell into, the conflating of pro-life and rape. Our candidates have to be smart enough to not blunder into that set-up. And you know the ‘Rats are going to pull it on him. VA is problematic enough for us now, we can't afford to throw away another contest with the same kind of blunder that cost us two very winnable Senate seats.

“Welfare” is an entitlement. Unlike welfare, SS and Medicare are OBLIGATIONS of the Federal Gov’t. People pay into both systems, and the funds MUST be there when needed. the question ought to be “how are we going to finance the system esp. with 76 MILLION people retiring at practically the same time, PLUS finance Obamacare”? I would just LOVE to hear what the ‘Rats propose to do to solve this*/s

Correct answer: WE are SCREWED.

I have been impressed with Ken Cuccinelli. He is sharp as a tack, and doesn’t seem to have the same foot in mouth disease as some of the Republicans.

I don’t think THIS stuff will kill him in Virginia - when I saw the headline I thought it was going to be abortion related.

Anything in the book about abortion can and will be used to kill him in Virginia with women in Northern Virginia.
