"You can expect that about 50% of Sarvis’ strength will evaporate at the polls, and go to Cucinelli"

I hope that's the case. Someone recently signed up here to push Sarvis, who is pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, and anti-gun.

Anti-gun? I hadn’t heard that; what in particular is he advocating?

Thanks for posting his website (in another thread), I checked what he has to say about gun rights (see http://www.robertsarvis.com/guns):

I support gun rights and the Second Amendment.

My view is this: Proponents of restricting our freedoms bear the heavy burden of showing the necessity, propriety, and wisdom of their proposed regulations. Yet gun-control measures have repeatedly failed to reduce violent crime or criminals' access to guns. Instead, they burden law-abiding gun-owners and prospective gun-owners.

Gun violence and violent crimes have declined dramatically over the last two decades. If we want to reduce gun violence and violent crime further, the first place to look is our drug laws. Drug prohibition, like alcohol prohibition before it, has produced well-financed, well-armed, violent criminal enterprises. Before we even think about burdening our law-abiding gun-owners with further regulations, we should end the drug war.

I also object to the Republican Party's attempts to get the information of all concealed-carry permit holders in Virginia. Republicans claim to be in favor of freedom, gun rights, and privacy, but this once again shows that the GOP's self-interest comes before the rights of the people.

Yeah, he really sounds like an Obama mini-mao there, doesn't he ...
