Terry promises "new era of liberal policy. "

[aquaman]

I blame McDonnell for this and hope he ends up in prison.

This. BUT Cuc also got caught up in the same scandal, he was taking gifts just not to the level of McD IIRC

 

[LargemouthAss]

Cuccinelli was unelectable. I voted for him but I never expected him to win. Had he avoided the sodomy law bull crap he would have been fine but alas....

 

[Raylon Rules]

Unelectable? I thought the election was pretty close, especially the lack of support he had from the old money GOP.

With 99 percent of the vote in, McAuliffe had 47.5 percent of the vote, Cuccinelli 45.9. Libertarian Robert Sarvis had 6.6. In the raw vote, McAuliffe had 1,027,453; Cuccinelli 991,562; and Sarvis 142,818.

McAulife also had 34 million to Cuccinelli's 20 million. Looks like the other republican trashed this one too.

Virginia got what they deserved.

VCDL doesn't need any advice from this side of the river, trust me. They wrote the book on state level activism.

Wow. After looking at their website, I envy their organization. We will get there.

Can we please stop with this discredited talking point? Sarvis was a fake Libertarian (what "libertarian" supports a 'miles driven' tax which requires putting a GPS in every car in the Commonwealth?) that was actually a liberal, and pulled more 'liberal' votes than 'conservative' - Sarvis votes' second choice were overwhelmingly McA, by a 2-1 margin.

Va Senate is split 50/50 Rep/Dem

Va House is 2/3'rds Rep

Don't count on any major changes

+1

4 years of gridlock. McAwful isn't going to pass his agenda, there won't be any anti gun bills that pass, but no pro gun bills will either.

Yep,

You want to see an effective state lobbying organization go to Richmond on January 20th for vcdl lobby day. Several thousand people carrying guns and orange guns save lives stickers roaming the halls of the state capital.

Capital police set up an express entry line for people with a CHP.

So is this them trying to get the water to boil?

Too bad several thousand more people couldnt have been bothered to vote. Like 2 million votes total out of a state population of 8 million.

I'll agree with others, VA deserves who wins the votes.

And here is his first deliverable in his "new era of liberal policy. "

WashingtonTimes.com -
Virginia Gov. McAuliffe rerouted funds for inaugural
VA legislature had previously banned uses for politics

“Color me surprised that Terry McAuliffe is involved with what looks like a highly questionable decision involving money and politics,” said Garren Shipley, a spokesman for the Republican Party of Virginia. “Whether it’s renting out the Lincoln Bedroom, cashing in on Global Crossing as the company tanked, or investing in a program state officials worried was a visa-for-sale scheme, Terry McAuliffe continues to give Virginians every reason to be skeptical of his actions.”

My question is ... where did all of that money come from ? Supposedly he outspent McDonald, so how did he give $211,000 from his inaugural fund back to his election campaign and the Virginia Democratic Party as disclosure records show ?
