Bloomberg would like nothing better than to foist his agenda on VA, NRA's home state.

Excellent propaganda value and great for fund raising.

NOVA is more like MD than VA.

The Repubs hold a slim 2 vote margin in the Senate IIRC. They still don't have the House though.

But the libs need VA to keep the WH.

I hope that control freak dies in a gun free zone.

Oh those uber tolerant Liberals...

Saw first Everytown ad for VA Dem. candidate, on WJLA tonight. Said the Repub. is an extremist. Meanwhile, the Dem loves America, apple pie, and mom.

"... The Virginia races are an Everytown national focus in the off-year election. The issue of gun control has gained a higher profile nationally after a spate of mass shootings, and President Barack Obama has called gun deaths a "political choice."

Everytown has bought $1.5 million in TV ads to back Jeremy McPike, an Alexandria city administrator, in his campaign against Republican Hal Parrish, a mayor in Washington's suburbs.

The advocacy group founded by Bloomberg, a media tycoon and former New York mayor, also is pouring $700,000 into ads for Dan Gecker, who faces Republican lawyer Glen Sturtevant in a Richmond-area district. Both races are for seats from which incumbents are retiring.

The advertisements feature Andy Parker, the father of Alison Parker, a Roanoke, Virginia, television reporter slain in an August on-air shooting along with her cameraman.

"Politicians' condolences are not enough. It's time for them to act," Parker says in the ad..."

Good luck, Virginia. I have fond memories of you before the New York liberals fled the cesspool they created and invaded.

I really hope Virginia voters are smart enough to not allow a billionaire control freak to buy their votes.

Terry McAuliffe, Gov., is a huge Dem. national fundraiser and Clintonite. You can be sure that all kinds of Dem. resources have been poured in from all over to help McAuliffe buy the state for his party, and also to bring it home for Clinton in '16. VA is becoming a shadow of its former self, thanks to NOVA and its liberal influx.

Washington and Jefferson are at 78 rpm and gaining speed. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't rise from the dead...

ok, wait a minute. Why the frig are there irregularities if Repubs turn out in droves but a-ok if Dims do it? This is from the article..

Senate Minority Leader Richard L. Saslaw (D-Fairfax), meanwhile, held out hope that the results could change. He said he suspected irregularities in a Richmond-area race won by the GOP because Republican turnout was so heavy.

From VCDL

Couldn’t have happened to nicer tyrants, either.

VCDL-PAC endorsed Republican Senator Dick Black beat anti-gun Democrat Jill McCabe by 5%. Bloomberg poured a million dollars into that race to defeat Senator Black because of Senator Black’s strong pro-gun voting record.

Republican Senate-canididate Glen Sturtevant Jr. beat anti-gun Daniel Gecker by 3%. The Gecker campaign received over a million dollars from Bloomberg and ran anti-gun ads day after day. Sturtevant’s refusal to fill out the VCDL survey hurt his campaign with grassroots gun owners. What saved him was that all the anti-gun Gecker ads backfired, alarming many grassroots gun owners enough to vote for Sturtevant just to keep Gecker out of power.

Bloomberg’s only win was in the Parrish and McPike race, where Parrish lost by 8%. Neither Parrish nor McPike returned the VCDL survey.


GOVERNOR MCAULIFFE LOSES THE SENATE HE WANTED SOOOOO BADLY

The anti-gun Democrat Senate leadership stays out of power as the Republicans managed to retain their bare 21 to 19 majority. Two Democrats out of the nineteen will probably vote with us from time-to-time, which will help in getting the majority needed to pass some pro-gun bills.

The failure to take control of the Senate puts a major kink in Bloomberg and McAuliffe’s anti-gun plans for Virginia.

In the House, the Republicans have a bare SUPER-majority - 66 to 34. A few of the House Democrats might vote with us occasionally on pro-gun bills.

The VCDL-PAC had 27 wins, 17 losses, for a 61% success rate this election cycle.


POSSIBLE RECOUNTS

There will possibly be one or two recounts because of some super-tight races in the House. From VCDL’s point of view, the results will not be significant, regardless of how they go.

Bloomberg lost

I think he put some more money down the drain....

 

[Jim12]

Hooray!! Great news.

Our friends in VA better get ready for the next one.
