Tea party nut ? your an A- h@!$. Funney how the Republican establishment went out of their way to not support the guy and the Democrazzz spent 15 million on the duechbag. who were you ? He still almost won .It's a good thing the Republicans ran Tea Party nut Cuccinelli instead of Lt. Governor Bill Bolling.
Because, ideological purity, or something...
Fear not, most of the Bloomberg backed candidates lost.
It's a short article, so I'm not going to quote it, but it's an interesting read with a link to a longer article.
McAullife had a lot of support beyond Bloomberg and just barely managed to win. VA is a purple state, mostly because of the influx of DC workers in NOVA.

I hear a lot of crying here...Big surprise that women are voting against politicians that are perceived as standing against their self determination. Read this and stew on it.
The Dems certainly aren't going to quit their shit.
The Repubs have an opportunity, if they can figure it out. Or they can continue to **** it up and have the libertarians continue to make build acceptance.
Whatever. If they only vote on their lady parts, they are morons and nothing more. Self determination? The lib's are against guns, will tax you to death, then revive you to tax you to death again, they want to control what you eat, what you drive, everything. The issue is low information voters and many single women are idiots.perceived as standing against their self determination

I don't understand this. I really need to have a (rational) woman explain it to me. My wife and I have argued about it once or twice. I think abortion is horrible but should be legal up to a point. My wife basically agrees. But what I don't get is the view that 'I personally would never - ever - get an abortion, but I will not vote for a candidate who is against them.' Layer on that these same people play fast and loose with wanting to ban guns and drugs, and I just can't understand the philosophy. I can't defend my body or put drugs that make me feel good into my body, but it's okay to kill someone growing in my body? Hmm.
I guess I just like the idea of defending myself the way many women like the idea of killing their unborn children. Can't we all just get along?
Headed hard into thread-lock territory, but RNC needs to re-examine the meaning of "limited government", or it will cease to win elections no matter how bad the DNC gets.I guess I just like the idea of defending myself the way many women like the idea of killing their unborn children.

Cucinelli actually won married women by 9%, so it's the moron single women who have their heads up their a$$es. Cucinelli was supported by Ron Paul and the "libertarian" candidate was funded by one of obama's biggest financial supporters.

The DNC are ****ing idiots if they think the current course is going to result in them winning. And the ones that think that that's ok because CWII will result in some religious cleansing will likely still not get it when they figure out it doesn't work that way any more.Headed hard into thread-lock territory, but RNC needs to re-examine the meaning of "limited government", or it will cease to win elections no matter how bad the DNC gets.

The push depends on the down ballot races. If they don't control all three branches, it goes no where.
Libertarian candidate who was partially funded by an obama billionaire bundler took 6% and decided the race. Plus single women went 75% to 16% for the D. Single women vote on abortion like it's their job. F'ing morons.
I don't think, as we find the Dems voted for a libertarian, we can blame this on a third party guy. Rather we should redirect our aim at the establishment Republicans who failed to back The candidate and severely underestimated the TEA PARTY.still find it hard to believe a Democratzzzz could vote Libertarian.From the exit poll 2/3rds more democrats voted for the Libertarian than republicans. So if he didn't run the outcome would have been unchanged.

Why is it hard to believe? A lot of people who vote democrat are single issue voters on the issues of gay marriage and abortion and only vote democrat because republicans are on the other side of that. Libertarians are of the mindset of leave the government out of it.
What makes you so sure the libertarian votes all came from the Republican? They usually don't. They involve some portion of democrats and people who would otherwise not vote.If there had been no libitarian candidate...well do the math.

But to blame a major-party loss on third-party candidates is fundamentally mistaken. First off, it ignores data that the Libertarian pulled more votes from the Democratic candidate than he did from the Republican one—an exit poll of Sarvis voters showed that they would have voted for McAuliffe by a two-to-one margin over Cucinelli. Second, and far more important, it presumes that all potential votes somehow really “belong” to either Democrats or Republicans. That’s simply wrong and it does a real disservice to American politics.
This is a rather common misconception and FUD mechanism to scare people from third parties.I stand corrected.

Yup, have heard this more than once and that's why they voted for Barry too. War on women and all that nonsense.
