is a DNC shill, etc. Funny how those complaining the most don't seem to live in Virginia. The Republican ticket is a fucking nightmare, from top to bottom; so I'll be busting my ass to help Terry McAulliffe get elected.

I do not much like the man, myself, but if I lived in Virginia I would stand in the rain for hours to cast a vote for the fella....

I openly despise the man...but I'll be making the trip an hour south into VA to GOTV for the asshole, register voters, knock on doors, whatever. We need to take back the VA Governor's mansion from the teabaggers...and more importantly, we need to keep that regressive fanatical authoritarian RW fuckwit Cuchinelli out of office, hopefully in a way that crushes his political career and ambitions forever.

I too, am not much of a fan of Mr. McAulliffe. However, the Republican ticket of Cuccinelli, Jackson, and Obenshain, or any combination thereof, would be absolutely catastrophic. The assholery of the Cooch is fairly well documented, but folks may not know as much about his down-ticket buddies. E.W. Jackson has stated that Planned Parenthood is equivalent to the Holocaust, and that the infamous 3/5 of a person Amendment was actually a good thing for African_Americans. Not to be outdone, Mark Obenshain submitted a bill to the General Assembly that could result in any woman who fails to report her miscarriage to law enforcement being fined and sentenced to a year in prison.
These are truly some scary fucking people, and Terry McAulliffe is by far a hugely preferable alternative!

We can't go back and restore VA to the red state category. The repubs are obviously throwing in their worst, because they sense weak support for McAuliffe. I wish the Dems had a stronger candidate, but since they don't let's all get behind Terry!

and the GOP's Lt Governor nominee makes Cooch look MODERATE by comparison! E.W. Jackson is insane!

I'll be here in Virginia doing GOTV efforts.

...if the Democrats ran a banana cream pie for governor, smart people would vote banana cream pie.

We've seen what happens in states were you give power to the extremists.
