Some are blaming the RNC on this for not spending enough money. I doubt it. BOTH sides spent a fortune on this race. If you want to blame a political party, blame the Libertarian party which siphoned off enough votes to give it to the Democrats. Third parties help Democrats.
Agreed. McAwful was lucky. Not so much for the next batch of democrats to stand trial at the voting booth.
Did you catch that report from The Blaze yesterday?
The Libertarian got a late gush of cash from an Obama bundler. We was set-up!
I blame Christians who consistantly stay home or vote the status quo instead of voting for candidates who line up to their faith.
The silent church will be responsible for the downfall of America.
All that is required is to follow the 2 Chronicles 7:14 principal: If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
Agreed. Others have tried to spin it otherwise, but in this case take away the Libertarian candidate and you have a Republican win. The Dems helped fund the Libertarian candidate for a reason, and it paid off.
That being said, shame on the Virginia voters who voted for McAuliffe. You will now reap what you have sown.
Wrong. The RNC spent a fraction of what they spent on the previous gubernatorial election. Cuccinelli's campaign says they were on their own; in fact, the RNC pulled money from Cuccinelli and gave it to Christie.
There are numerous FR threads about it this morning.
The RNC spent a paltry $3 Million on this race, while showering fat ass in NJ $12-13 Million. In a race he won by 40% so your analysis is wrong! The RNC is coming after Tea Party candidates. The so called libertarian was not a libertarian at all....although I agree that a third party helps dems....I also believe that we have to go after the rinos who feel it necessary to come after us! This isn't the first race they've done this to us.
Losing theme. I got a better more silly one:
EXACTLY !!!
"BOTH sides spent a fortune on this race."
Though the Dems spent over 10X the amount as the Repubs.
The RNC heirarchy is run by RINO'S - And the Tea Party needs to (IMO - will) take over that too!
The “limited government” candidates won a majority of the votes in Virginia yesterday.
The RNC did NOTHING for Cooch. NOTHING. The Republican Establishment actively wanted him to lose.
Cuccinelli was outspent at least 10-1 and came within 2 points of winning.
I'm sure the Whigs said exactly the same thing.
You can’t have a third party until you have a second one.
