Terry McAuliffe wins with less than 50% of the vote -- right out of the Clinton playbook with a 3rd candidate splitting the other side.

Now Hill and Bill have a base of operations near D.C. - I wonder if Hillary will be throwing her hat in the ring soon.

This hurts because I lived in a state where the Traitor Depraved Rat won by close to the same kind of margin and defeated a good man. Hate to say it but “I feel your pain” on this one.

““It was a choice about whether Virginia would continue the mainstream bipartisan tradition that has served us so well over the past decade.”

right off the bat, this puke lies a minute after the elections

....”In addition to enduring the advertising blitz, Cuccinelli was also hamstrung by a conservative record that alienated moderate and independent voters — and by more than a few of his fellow Republicans who backed McAuliffe.”....

Who are these “fellow Republicans?”

On his show yesterday Rush was “lamenting” how he is dumfounded and annoyed that all these years he thought he was a member of a team but there is no fight in many of “our” elected officials. He was pushing for Cuccinelli on the show Mon and Tues.

Luckily I’m in Texas but all conservatives are going to be tattooed with this loss.

I listened to part of McAuliffe’s acceptance speech. I look at this man - sleaze all the way around, no matter how you cut it - a real Clinton operative (all the lying of those WH years) and it turns my stomach.

Tonight is very concerning. The unaccountable crime factory in the WH stumps for candidates and they win. This is a serious alarm sounding here.

The well-oiled 2012 fraud machine, enabled in part by the criminal NSA and just about any other gov't agency so chosen to engage, swept the country tonight. De Blasio, McAwful, etc.. There is NO WAY the Repubs make ANY gains in 2014 unless more aggressive purging of election rolls and tabulation processes is validated by bipartisan groups.

2014 is vitally important and we all know why. Instead of 8 years of HELL for America it will be 16 FRIGGIN' YEARS OF HELL!!!

We've got to make SURE Hillary is held to account for Benghazi and MB support in Egypt!!

One bright spot:

“Democrats did not sweep all three top statewide offices, however. Mark Obenshain, the Republican candidate for attorney general, led Democrat Mark Herring by 2 percent with 94 percent of the precincts counted.”

Enjoy your hell VA. Typical locust from DC moving in to escape their hell to make another.

Clearly VA voters, even with the military spending and ports, don’t care.

The liberal machine keeps winnnig (VA, NJ) because RINO’s are in on it.

This woman has a long, ugly history. But they protect her because she's their path to power and money. Benghazi is hurting Obama -- it needs to spill over on to her.

The lying is being noticed. McAuliffe was up by 7 but this last month of Obamacare pulled him down. McAuliffe's money and a 3rd party candidate (funded in large part by an Obama bundler) gave him the governor's seat.

....."This race came down to the wire because of Obamacare," Cuccinelli said Tuesday.....

Major part of win was Fairfax and Arlington....which demonstrates the power of those districts to the rest of the state for 2014 and 2016.

As for Cuccinelli? I think he was more of a lite-weight than most people imagined. He may have been known throughout the state, but he’s only played big-time status for a couple of years.

Finally, my humble opinion is that Terry McAuliffe has a history of screwing up. It may take two to three years...but there’s going to be deals and corruption within his office, and he’s not the type that will get a second term. Either he uses the position to jump into a senator’s seat, or he leaves in disgrace in four years. He’s just too prone to screw up a good deal.

>> 3rd candidate splitting the other side.

We need to force the RINOs into the Democrat party.

Hitlery will need to be “Swift Boated” on Benghazi and whatever else is applicable to her. She’d kill whatever is left of America if she wins.

Yep. The Dems and their enabling liberal Virginia media just stuck a fork in the state.

“As for Cuccinelli? I think he was more of a lite-weight than most people imagined. ..”

Cuccinelli is no lightweight. Mega $millions from leftist groups, including Planned Parenthood, went to McAuliffe, and the GOP Establishment didn’t support Cuccinelli much, if at all.

McAuliffe had a big lead, and then ends up winning by only 2%, even with all that leftist money.

Also, some Obama character put up a FAKE libertarian, probably as a spoiler.

I’d say Cuccinelli did darn good, and if he had support from the Republican Establishment types, I believe he would have won.

Why would the Attorney General be elected when he was part of the ticket? Folks, this is fraud. It’s written in the numbers.
