Good news for Fairfax's own Ken "the cooch" Cuccinelli. Bill Bolling will not mount a 3rd party - independent run for the Governor's mansion.

Nah. Polls showed Bolling hurt the cooch and would have given the election to McAuliffe. This puts the cooch back in the drivers seat and it's his election to win or lose without a 3rd party taking from his base. This is better news for Cuccinelli.

Ken is a Fairfaxian. I would also argue that a gubernatorial election has a significant impact on Fairfax considering nearly 15% of Virginia's electorate live in Fairfax County

It's also relevant to Fairfax because the county will again give the Democratic candidate the margin needed to win the election.

Nice try, but no cigar for you. Just because that asshole hails from Fairfax does not make this a Fairfax General Forum worthy thread. These belong in Off Topic.

Let Cary decide. Arguing over what belongs in the General Forum and what is Off topic is gay.

Not sure it really makes any difference. Convntional wisdom was that Bolling would split the Republican vote leaving McAuliffe to win with a Democratic plurality, but I think it just as likely that Bolling and McAuliffe would split the anti-Cuccinelli vote.

the gop just lost twice running guys significantly to the left of cuccinelli. How will he attract voters that wouldn't even go for allen or romney? Especially now that he's made a name for himself as a right-wing spokesmodel.

it's mcAuliffe election to lose now. Which he could, but he'll have to be a pretty bad politician.

That's not a good thing.

Lookit these FAGS in here getting all wonky on each others dicks! Nothing but a bunch of cum gargling homos in here! Have fun sucking each other off you bunch of faggots!

You people are stupid and so is Cuccinelli. This idiot Republican will be another Republican in a line of Republican Failures. All Mcdonnell's did was raise taxes unconstitutionally and unfairly on Norther Virginia. Now you want Mr. redistrict to disenfranchise northern Virginia and Mr. spend your time challenging the Affordable Health Care Act to the Supreme Court and Mr. Forced Ultra Sound as our fucking Governor.

The only successful Governors we've have been Democrats and now their respectable Senators held in high esteem.

I just wish you fuckers would leave my state alone and stop hindering its potential. You've done fucked up the country.

Not to mention, the Sequestor and heavy disproportional cuts affect our specific county more than anything else.

Foaming at the mouth rabid Republican dogs know not what they do. Someone stop the madness. When will the damage end.

This seems to be a common misconception.

GOP candidates like Romney didn't lose because they were too far to the right, they lost because they were too far to the left. Many moderate voters didn't see much of a difference between Romney and Obama (probably correct) so better the devil you know. And many conservative voters just stayed home because they didn't want to vote for another progressive RINO.

And as far as George Allen goes...well George Allen just plain sucks. I don't know how he got the nomination because I didn't meet a single Repub that was enthusiastic about voting for him. And if the base doesn't care, why should anyone else?

The only hope Republicans have and will ever have is if people don't vote. They are at odds with the interests of the vast majority of the nation. All they have are old white men that are mad at the world for not obeying their intention to lead the country to it's demise along with their own.

These mid terms won't be the like 2010, we're coming out, we're voting, you will experience another disappointing evening defining another four years.

And as far as George Allen goes. George Allen was a corporate funded power house. He was shown the door twice because what he and Republicans stand for these days. Over a multitude of elections now the policies of Republicans has been overwhelmingly rejected by the American people and yet you still have people proclaiming they need to double down. We will see.

Is this the same broke dick homo having a convo with himself pretending to be multiple posters AGAIN? Holy shit what a retard.

Wrong. Mittens lost because to win the nomination, he was forced to tack so hard & far to the right that he was unable to believably regain the political center. It also made Mittens look like a flip-flopper on many issues. Of course, being caught on tape telling the truth about not giving a damn about half of the country didn't help either.

well, i guess we'll find out. But i don't think that argument makes any sense, I don't see how the "base" can ever win an election in Va by itself, it's way too small now. Cuc has to attract others, and that's going to be a hard sell. Or the Dems have to not show-up, which isn't going too happen with Cuc running. and they will have tons of money.

McA is going to have to help him. he could;he's unproven....

Mark my words. If George Allen lost just for saying "Macaca." Cuccinelli is history.


Cuccinelli told priests to disobey the law if they don't like ObamaCare, Cuccinelli is a huge wack job with a mouth without limit. Bad combination. He'll be talking about rape and forced ultra sounds or whatever. Odd's are he'll make a fool of himself and lose out of sheer national embarrassment. If he is extremely careful and some how does become Governor the national embarrassment part will still suffice.

Two presidential elections in a row is a multitude?

You consider 50% to 47% to be "overwhelming"?

You do realize the Repubs still have a strong majority in the House right?

Give me a break. Quit parroting everything you hear the biased media say and think for yourself.

You lost by 2 million votes in the house. Gerrymandering and disenfranchising is nothing to be proud of.

Also republicans currently hold the governor's office in 30 states.

this means nothing. Obama lost the majority of House districts (thus the general view that the democrats have only a small chance of winning back the House in 2014). Because of gerrymandering, many democrat districts now vote 70% plus for democrats as republicans move out of those districts. Thus, you get places like NY and CA that skew the totals because they are voting at 70% or more for the democrat canidates.

Remember in VA in 2011 when republicans won 60% of the vote for the state senate but only tied in the number of seats. Now there's something definitely wrong there but I doubt you cared about it.

Fewer Americans put anything before themselves and this is why we are on the downhill slide.

Name the success's, just saying he has been successful doesn't make it so. I can name McDonnell's failings and the successes of his Democratic predecessors in contrast.

Twenty years in McLean, with half of that in the pay of the Clintons does not constitute Virginian or Virginians' best interest to me.

Don't trust or like him, and I think his agenda is just blind ambition...

You're a dumbass.

First, you act like Dumbocrats haven't gerrymandered districts? lol!

Second, we never have had a a one-man, one-vote democracy. Fortunately for you since if it wasn't for NYC and coastal CA, Dems wouldn't never win any national elections.

I'd worry about holding on to Texas and North Carolina if I were you, Virginia, Florida and Ohio seem to be a distant memory for you.

It's funny, if Romney had won the election, nobody would've said a thing about voter fraud. 2000 involved quite a bit of voter fraud, but it's not politically convenient to bring that up.

Romney lost for a lot of reasons. Voter fraud was not one of them.

Not for me, I'm not dumb enough to hitch up to either party.

Everything circles around. The Dems are on their typical kids in the candy store spree at the moment. Once they've spent all of the money and keep asking for more and people start to see the cost and consequences, things will swing back the other way again. Obamacare and ignoring Medicare/Medicaid/SS will cause some very big bills to come due soon and Uncle Ben is pretty much out of cash to prop things up much more as he's done to date. If you think that the Republican Party looks like it's in rough shape now, you should have seen the Dems after Carter.

The Democrats held on to the House for Reagan's two terms. They lost control of the Senate, but never had fewer than 45 seats.

I would argue that people who vote split-ticket are idiots. You're electing people who will work against the other guy you're voting for.

And? They wouldn't get the Presidency again until Clinton. The only reason that he was elected then was because of Perot.

Disagree. It provides a limiter which keeps either party from running too far in either direction. At least in the past we could still get important things done. Which is how it should work and is much of the value of an opposition party. But you're likely too young to remember that.

Mondale was a lamb for the slaughter. The DNC knew that he would be slaughtered; Reagan was too popular. Also, selecting Geraldine Ferraro didn't help his case.

Probably am. I study history, however. I would argue that there is some value in having a united government. The minority party still can check the majority's power. For example, in 2008, the Republicans controlled the Supreme Court and enough of the Senate to stop anything from happening. The minority does have power, just it has to know how to use it.

The intention of our form of government with checks and balances between branches was to limit the power of any given branch and to also force the government to compromise and reach solutions through debate and dialogue. Republicans are not interested in this concept of governance.

They reserve the right to restrict the ability to govern and filibuster any attempts at legislation. They are perfectly content with the negative impact this may have in the country because it seems more comfortable for them politically to blame the current presidency for the results. Although this recently proved to be unsuccessful at the polls, they are still unable to change this failed political strategy.

Bullshit. The democrats have a long record of doing exactly the same thing. Reid himself was the master of that strategy. lol

In particular, note how his approach to the issue seems to have changed with having the majority and a Dem President in office. Even then he's continued to do so in order to keep Republican motions from the floor.

That's not true. In fact he has raised multiple taxes. Especially on Northern Virginia in violation of our state constitution. These include sales, real estate and lodging taxes. Funny how you guys can't even get the facts straight with your cheap shots. Oh yeah, he also increased fee's for driving fuel efficient vehicles.

Terry shipped poential Virginia jobs to Mississippi. For a man that will run on a platform that calls for bringing jobs to VA, that isn't a good thing. Plus, there is something really shady going on at his company Greentech. Once people start digging and the facts get out there, it may very well sink his candidacy.

Ralph Nader on Terry McAuliffe:

“He threatens, he promises, he cajoles, he jokes, he charms, he intimidates. He really is not someone who should be governor and in possession of the public’s trust.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_McAuliffe#2004_Election

Oh Bob McDonnell did raise taxes? Cant dispute that? Guess we Republicans really do stand for nothing. Wrong he raised regressive taxes meant to affect the poor but I've already gone down a the road of trying to explain that one to you and not worth it. So, I know, let's just focus on Terry Mcfuckface instead. I'll say this much. Terry McAulliffe is a go getter that thinks outside the box and looks for tangible results like John Warner and Tim Kaine before him. All Cuccinelli is gonna do is pick fights for four years, fuck our state up a little and embarrass nationally an few times. Then he's gonna raise taxes on the middle class in Northern Virginia too like McDonnell and pretend he accomplished something.

Actually, some of the taxes will disproprtionally be placed on the more wealthy people.

Good money says you didn't read the documents. They don't paint McCaulliffe in a very flattering light. There is something rotten in Denmark about this new company of his. I think the voters deserve to know if his company is a scam or not.

Tying Cuccinelli to McDonnell is a weak exercise. Cuccinelli opposed the transportation plan.

Cuccinelli opposes the McDonnell Transportation Plan just like McDonnell opposed raising taxes when he was running for Governor. I understand.

Your graph, like most of the rest of your crap, is bogus.

Here are better breakdowns with actual back-up from the Brennan Center, which certainly is not a conservative source.

http://www.brennancenter.org/publication/curbing-filibuster-abuse#graphs

The low percentage of passage has been on a continuing decline for many years. You can clearly see the effect of Reid's use of the filibuster during Bush's first term. This newly claimed "obstructionist" BS on the part of Republicans amounts to only a few percent difference and is roughly in line with the overall trend since the rules were changed. The fact is that, given the new rules, both parties have increasingly taken advantage of what is for the minority a more effective way to exert its influence, and, overall, the Senate has been an increasingly less productive place generally prior to blaming the current minority.





The largest jump came during the 110th Congress prior to Obama's term, mostly due to Reid's actions.





You can see the same as used to block Bush's judicial appointments.





A further primary reason for the increased number of filibusters during Reid's leadership is him not permitting minority amendments to any bills, which is the primary case where it has been employed.





If you want somebody to blame for increased use of the filibuster, then you don't have to look any further than Reid himself.

And, once again, your uninformed blind partisan talking point BS gets shot down by facts.
