Mr. Cuccinelli was so offensive on so many levels. I am happy that the women of VA don’t have to worry about him anymore.

If you think he is so offensive, why aren’t you worried about the men also? :rolleyes:

I am a woman in Va and I voted for him. I don’t agree with him on a few things, but his pro-life views are absolutely fine with me.

My maternal grandfather’s family was very heavily involved in the Democrat party in both local and state politics, holding various elected offices. I cannot imagine any of them being affiliated with the party the way it is today. Not a chance.
 
It was an interesting race. McAullife was so far ahead at one point that the GOP deemed that this was a race not worth throwing a lot of money at.

By election day, in spite of being underfunded, having votes siphoned off by a phoney libertarian funded by Democrats, and in spite of some very sleazy SIXHIRB tactics slandering him among Hispanics, Cuccinnelli came within a hairs width of pulling it off.

One wonders how much the fiasco of ASA played into the evaporation of that nine point lead?

Dick Morris was citing polling errors and using the 2012 model for an off-year election. 🤷

He also noted that when the government shutdown, the RGA pulled some of its money. Once the O-care began after the shutdown, they weren’t able to buy much airtime because Terry had bought it all up.

So basically they went almost the last month without much ads.

The fact that this race was this close is very telling, and I’m not sure what the democrats gained here.

If Terry raises taxes and becomes Terry-that-taxes (kind catchy, huh), how much of a beating are some of those federal employees and lobbyists in northern Virginia going to put up with when Hilary wants to tax them even more? :hmmm: :ehh:

I’m just looking at the actual numbers.

Oh, I understand now. Sorry about that, I just misread your intention. :o

But you do need a deeper analysis than how it all adds up.
I personally think the idea that “a vote for X is really a vote for Y” is entirely illogical and ridiculous. As a factual matter, it is completely contrary to how votes are actually counted.

Well, I remember the days of “a vote for Nader is a vote for Bush” and I always said a “vote for Nader is a vote for Nader”. Aside from Jeb Bush getting Nader on the ballot in Florida, which I thought was just fair if nothing else, I don’t see how Nader was a set-up for the GOP to win.

I’d like to think that votes for Sarvis were protest votes and that people were not so fooled into thinking he could win, but I don’t buy into the idea of a nice even split.

Frankly, libertarians should be angry than an Obama bundler would use their candidate. He may have done well for an independent, but the libertine street cred is damaged in my book. If they need that to get ahead, they’ve reached a new low.

They had 9-11 conspiracy theorists, were angry at FOX NEWS for not including Ron Paul despite his poor showing in the polls, tossed snowballs and Sean Hannity, and actually think so-called “gay marriage” is small government.

Men in VA are able to make their own healthcare choices.
 
So were women. Abortion is not health care, if that is what you are referring to, and unfortunately, the Feds have guaranteed that " right" for you.

Women can make their own healthcare choices also.

In fact, a woman who is truly concerned about her long-term health wouldn’t be sleeping around, wouldn’t be taking chemical contraceptives, and should *want *to be pregnant and carry the baby to term, and deliver viginally with minimal intervention, and should breastfeed for at least 6 months.

Not really. I understand that C emphasized the family. Single and married men followed the same pattern.

We were hammered about Ken’s war on women, and it turns out that married women support his restrictions on abortion and such. That is the surprise.
 
I live in Virginia. We were inundated with attack ads and multiple daily phone calls from the major campaigns. I no longer participate in the American political process, so I didn’t vote. They surely wasted their time on me.
 
I’m a Virginian as well. I donated to Cuccinelli’s campaign several times and tried my best to convince as many people as possible but in the end it wasn’t enough.

At the end of the day he was the best qualified person for the position. Instead we got a snake-oil salesman using our Commonwealth as a stepping stone to be Hillarys VP and will turn us into a welfare state ensuring Democrat supremacy forever.

Yay.

As fewer and fewer women get married, the conservative message in general is rejected by single women.
Married women do not need a big government program to provide them with security. Their sufficient security lies in the fact that they have a help mate there for them.
Single women by and large look to government as their husband. Really, with some of the ads that Obama ran where the subject was the young women voting for the first time, the relationship was even portrayed as an overtly sexualized one.

The war on women is of course a lie and a smear. To think that any group in America has declared war on women is ridiculous.
To the extent that single women feel themselves to be alone-nay are alone- and perceives themselves to be in a vulnerable position as a result of their aloneness, designing a campaign that increases the paranoia, the insecurity, and the fear that young women feel, is a tremendously useful Democratic ploy.

It is a false sense of security that a government provides to its vulnerable members.
