I live in Virginia. The Governor's race here means nothing nationally. Both candidates are terrible. I don't know of anyone in the State who genuinely likes either guy. Both guys are crooks and complete assholes.
Virginia has been a purple state for years. We have had a succession of both Democrat and Republican Governors. It is no big deal in this State. Obama won Virginia because 1 in 4 voters in this State are black. A white Democrat running for President would have a much tougher time, no matter who they are.
We Virginians dislike government officials who use our tax money to pursue their personal agendas. Cuccinelli did just that. He spent thousands of dollars and forced the University of Virginia to spend as much if not more in his challenge of Michael Mann's work when he was a professor there. It was totally baseless and a waste of money. I won't even get into his challenge of the ACA.
If he were elected Governor, it is frightening what other witch hunts he would pursue. And yet the state GOP saw him as their best chance to keep the Governorship. He will lose Virginia and this may begin a huge losing streak for the Republican Party. He is the face of the Tea Party in Virginia. The Tea Party is the best thing to happen to the Democratic Party in years!
Hey Buddy,
I don't like Cuccinelli. He's a douchebag. I've made that clear. The Democrat candidate is a complete piece of shit as well. No Virginia should be happy with either one of those assholes.
