What the VA governor's race tells us about the 2014 midterms

[SpanishInquisition]

The only chance Sarvis has is as a Democrat spoiler electing McClinton.

Actually there are a good number of dem co-workers of mine that will NOT be voting for McAuliff. They're not voting for Cooch either.

To bad they're electing this...

Debate? LOL Actually, I think it's funny how few of your posts have any actual content.

Pot...kettle...

Seems the internet protocol of

NOT SHOUTING

Is more impoortant than holding on to our guns. For the suddenly reserved....please note that a general comment is not personal unless you take it so.

Funny how many so called "libertarians" adopt the thin skinned style of liberals when debating politics. Frankly if you're not passionate you're playing. Aren't we getting enough sandbox politicians at the moment?
How bout sheer truth??????

Debate? LOL Actually, I think it's funny how few of your posts have any actual content. For someone with an apparent SIGINT background, your S/N ratio is incredibly low. I've posted the stance of Sarvis on many issues, yet when I mention one plank in the platform you instantly accuse of single-issuedom.

Name calling, blathering and ALL CAPS BS is not debate and you should know better.

Should McAuliff win, I will ridicule YOU for not voting for the best candidate, Sarvis, Mister Blame Game.

I think what happened last night in DC will tell us more about the mid-terms than the VA Gubernatorial race will. How about that 2 BILLION + in pork for the Senate Minority leader?

(place ridicule of your background here)
(place ridicule of your posts here)
(place ridicule of your font here)
(place ridicule of positions and politicians you DON"T support here)
(place ridicule of the probable outcome if Sarvis gets 15% of the vote here)
(place first person name calling here)

It's all the same....HUH?

Yes, but as you've said the legislature is pro-gun and I don't think either of us expect that to change. We didn't just survive the worst onslaught against gun rights last year, we freaking trampled the anti-gunners. With almost everything not even getting out of committee, the governor's position on the matter is still moot. It's a shame that you're copping out with the "if he stood a chance I'd vote for him" line. You know how he stands a chance? By people voting for him! I don't understand how people think he'll magically become a viable candidate if everyone waits for everyone else to vote for him.

He's got practically nothing in the polls. The people believe the polls (although if you know anything, they are designed to achieve the result the poll-payer asks for). Unfortunately, this means most people believe McAwful will win, that Cooch stands an outside chance, and that Sarvis is really a non-issue.

Given that, I cannot throw my support to Sarvis. If Sarvis were pulling 33% of the vote, I'd consider otherwise, but right now, I am seeing Sarvis below 10%!

Honestly, do you think given this, that Sarvis stands a chance? I am all for voting who you want to win, but here our second-choice has an uphill battle, and our worst choice is most likely to win.

Top that with the fact that the GOA, NRA, and most importantly, the VCDL have come out unified to support Cooch makes it clear. Our best real chance to make the best progress for now is with Cooch.

If McAwful wins will you wish you voted cooch? I won't feel bad either way. If Sarvis wins, I will eat crow, but I've NEVER seen a guy at 10% at this stage come anywhere close to winning, and people did not change last night, so I don't expect it now.

I call it the "Perot Affect".

Clinton NEVER won with a MAJORITY of the vote! He won with only 43% of the vote the first time...

And when Gun Control came about, all the Perot Voters kept saying "I DID NOT DO IT! I VOTED FOR PEROT!"

Uh-huh... right. Thanks

It occurred to me last night why Cuchinelli is losing. He is running away for himself, and he is being outspent. Sarvis is a bit of a spoiler, but Ken could out shine him by simply being true to who he is,

He should get a commercial out blanketing the state by saying Yes I am against abortion in nearly all cases (excepting the life of the mother) because I believe that human life matters and should be protected. My opponent is fine with abortion of children up to the day of birth. He should get out there and say In Virginia we respect the 2nd amendment Terry McAwful does not...he has said he wants to enact Colorado style gun laws. He should get out there and say words matter, what you call something matters in virginia we voted to limit marriage to between men and women I stand with Virginia,


He probably does not have the funds to say this as loud and as clears as he can but he should stop running away from himself and be who he is.

I'm relatively new to Virginia but I've seen more than one comment stating if a primary had been held Bill Bolling would have won and McAuliffe would be crushed.

fact or wishful thinking?

I've heard this as well. Bolling did not like the convention format being used this year so he dropped out in protest. Interesting position considering that's how he, KC, and Gov Bob got selected to run in 2009.

I just dont get why replublicans always run around acting like they are scared,reminds me of a bunch of little girls

[FiremanBob]

Bolling: wishful thinking. Bill Bolling is the Lindsay Graham of Virginia.

I wonder the same. It seems to me like they do not want to win again. Makes me wonder how much of the D-R association is more than it appears on the surface, like a plan to manipulate the elections to give it to someone in particular ...
