Democrat Terry McAuliffe wins Va. governor's race, Fox News projects
Fox News ^ | November 5, 2013

Posted on 11/05/2013 7:05:36 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Democrat Terry McAuliffe is projected to win the Virginia gubernatorial race, defeating Republican nominee Ken Cuccinelli in a surprisingly close victory.

Fox News projected McAuliffe as the winner Tuesday night.

The closely watched raced pitted a Tea Party-backed Republican and an establishment Democrat locked in an expensive, ideological battle whose outcome is expected to set a course for the 2014 and 2016 elections -- in large part forcing the GOP to consider whether a strong conservative candidate is the party’s best pick to win a national election.

Cuccinelli, trailing late by single digits, tried unsuccessfully to use voter dissatisfaction with ObamaCare to stage a come-from-behind victory over the better-funded McAuliffe....

News flash for the dickless quislings who constitute the "leadership" of the GOP:

If you tack toward the center to appease the baying hounds of the media, academia, and the left, you are doomed. You are throwing your base under the bus. Contrary to what some talking heads say, we do have someplace else to go - someplace where we will not be patronized, marginalized and demonized.

God Save The United States Of America!

Just heard how Chris Christie REFUSED to campaign for Cuccinelli..what a douche bag

That's good to file away in the Krispy Kreme douche bag file. If you have a link, I'll add that to it. Thanks.

^^^That's what should've posted...not sure what happened there ^^^ :-)

"Pretty close in a democrat trending state." "Looking like Detroit might elect their first white mayor since the 1970s."

Funny how the close elections ALWAYS seem to go to the Dem.

Lovely....It is impossible to win when you have the dems, the repubs, and the press rooting for the other side.

It's a sad day when all of these groups would prefer a crooked politician, who is under investigation by several grand juries to an honest man fighting for the common man.

I foresee a major scandal in Virginia in the next few years.

If you all could take a few seconds to repost that picture of McAuliffe to imgur, it might boost its popularity enough for others to see it.

Just save the picture, go to the imgur site, select “computer” and upload it off your computer. Appreciated.

We are finished as a nation.

It probably lasted longer than the Founders would've thought.

There is some good news—Mark Obenshain holds a narrow lead in the race for attorney general.

How much voter fraud was involved - including illegal aliens voting?

The Dems were funding the "Libertarian's" campaign. I am not sure how the illegal Illegal vote came off. Virginia purged a lot of voters a couple weeks ago but LaRaza got involved pretty heavily here so the fraud was probably very high.

Real simple why McAuliff won:

1. Northern VA is built & bought with billions of Fed money, taking over more and more northern counties;

2. Dems sent in tons of money from out of state. All spent on lies about Cuccinelli. Someone said the money was 10 - 1.

3. Dems paid to get Sarvis to run as Libertarian and bleed off conservative votes. Smart. Evil - but smart.

4.. Our current gov. really hurt the “conservative” brand, is a RINO, and took personal favors from a VA company CEO bringing on a state scandal, wounding Cuccinelli.

5. Media blames Repubs for gov. shutdown - and most of Nova is gov. employees OR gov. contractors who nurse at the gov. tit.

The real news is the Cuccinelli came so close. He had 5 strikes against him.

But even Fox won’t report that.

If you live in Virginia, might I suggest moving? The state is lost at this point. If my state does not pull its head out of its collective ass in 2014, I am leaving; possibly the country depending on 2016.

Who the hell are we going to get to run to the left of Hillary Clinton? Maybe we can fly Fidel Castro in?
