A year ago the Virginia Republican Party held the Governor’s office, the Lieutenant Governor’s office and the Attorney General’s office. In 2012, Virginia Republican Governor Bob McDonnell was considered as a strong potential running mate for Mitt Romney. He was also billed as a possible presidential candidate for 2016.At the 2013 state GOP convention, delegates selected a slate of conservative candidates to run in the fall election that included Ken Cuccinelli for Governor, E.W. Jackson for Lt. Governor and Mark Obenshain for Attorney General. All three of them lost and their offices switched from red to blue.However, last night the GOP had a chance for a small measure of redemption. In a special election to fill newly elected Attorney General Mark Herring’s old seat, and party control of the State Senate at stake, the Republicans at least had an opportunity to halt the bleeding.Although Virginia’s 33rd Senate District leans Democratic, Republicans were hopeful that a low turnout special election in the midst of a winter snowstorm, would give them a chance to win the race and secure a Republican majority in the State Senate.
they need to keep underestimating Progressive voters they have done boat loads of things to restrict and block our right to vote, suffice it to say "they pissed us off", this is a prelude to Nov. 4th so expect a deluge of more elephant dung listen to it and it will be the mind changer, the get off the fence, those SOB's moment in their desperation to demonize us they get tied up in their own deception and it will shine like Reagan's light on the hill
Voters decided otherwise. Democrat Jennifer Wexton coasted to a resounding 53-37 victory over Republican John Whitbeck. Joe T. May, a former Republican, running as an Independent garnered the remaining ten percent.The Republicans still hold a majority in the state’s lower house (the House of Delegates), but Wexton’s victory gives Democrats control of the upper chamber, although the 6th District race won by Democrat Lynwood Lewis is still undergoing a recount.
recount? we know they are bad at math, guess their cheating didn't get the turn out they expected kinda like 2012, they held out till the last moment before allowing the truth and the tears to come through.
the disbelief that Pres. has been so successful vs. them they adopted referring to his tenure as failure, can't fail if you are prevented from doing it only those who oppose fail because he did get so much done without them, now they are crying about being included more, if they stop opposing everything maybe he will ask them out for a beer or not. they only want to be "NOTIFIED" so they can obstruct they are the party of stupid and no.
