And because of that, we will never know the extent of the election fraud that put them there.

One can only hope that there will be a backlash against the corruption of the Demorat team that brings out the conservatives to vote next time, as they should have this time. It's just a shame that so many Virginians allowed this to happen rather than heed the warnings and prevent it.

I don't know....I think conservatives came out, but carpet baggers came out too in N. VA. I will watch the next few election cycles. I hope it is not too late for VA.

I'm worried that we are outnumbered NoVA is so blue and can swing future elections.

I know a number of establishment Republicans who did not vote for KC because they thought he was "extreme". Apparently they forgot to look at how extreme his con-man opponent is.

The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.

To tell the truth, I am scared. I have started shopping for property in another state to move my toys to, should the need arise. It sucks, I hate spending right now, but CYA.

Luckily, we have a pretty weak governorship in VA and we still control the HOD. If we can win the 33rd Senate Special election in a few weeks (Herring's seat) then we will also control the State Senate.

The next 4 years aren't going to be good, but it's far from a certainty that they will be really bad.

We need to stay vigilant and stay engaged.

John Whitbeck is the GOP State Senate candidate in the 33rd. He was nominated this past Monday.

I've been working with him for about 3 years now, he's a solid conservative and pro- 2A guy too.

If people want to donate they can at http://www.johnwhitbeck.com/.

The Governor has to set a date for the Special Election. He hasn't yet, but it will most likely be sometime in January.

This is what's keeping me remotely optimistic, at least regarding gun control.
