The real message out of Virginia is that a Democrat candidate with all the advantages, including big dollars for advertising, everybody and their sister campaigning for him, and access to the Democratic party's get out the vote databases and volunteers couldn't even get 50% of the votes in the state. 53% of the voters said "no thanks" to the Democratic party.

Had the Republican candidate had nearly as many resources, and been able to bring even a small number of the libertarian voters into his camp he would have won.

A Republican who captured the majority of the libertarian voters, and turned out conservative voters as effectively as the Democrats turn out their base would have won by a large margin.

The big message is that conservatives have to get candidates who can stand up to the RINO machine. Cucinnelli's breakdown (somebody posted them yesterday) showed that he would've won easily it he weren't destroyed by single female voters.

Why wasn't he ready for the assault he'd get as anti-women's rights? That's how the opposition ALWAYS paints conservatives, yet Cucenelli was like a deer in the headlights when his views on women's rights were attacked. Like I wrote yesterday, a smarter candidate would've been ready with a press conference on his grandmother's grave (or whatever) with every female in his life there explaining how much he respects and cares about women.

He was within two points a week ago. Why didn't he keep on fighting? Whining about the RNC?....the way they backstabbed Ted Cruz's could've-been-success stopping Obamacare, he had to know that was the enemy he was against. Why was there no earlier background research exposing the RNC working against him and the dems supporting the Libertarian?

We need candidates who are articulate enough, smart enough, and dedicated to conservative values enough to get out there and win. The RINO and dem tactics are stale. The candidates we support should be ready for them.

grrrr.......

end of rant
