I can’t believe the Dems let this guy go forward unchallenged for their AG nomination. What an awful candidate who has run a positively awful campaign. The guy looks like he’s just out of college, not projecting any sort of authority you would expect from an AG. His voice is grating and robotic, and he has shown little command of the issues and the ins and outs of the AG’s office.
Bye bye Lil’ Stevie, you are heading for the political dustbin.

I understand he is was well thought of by his constituents as a Senator, but it didn’t translate to competence and experience necessary for the office of the AG. Many thought that because he was a former county prosecutor he was a shoe-in, but those people didn’t understand the office of the AG anymore than Shannon.
Unfortunately I believe Shannon’s political career is over. KC has run circles around him, to me that was no surprise.
KC4AG!
Here, let me translate for you nimwits who don’t know what Loudoun Insider is really saying: “Remember when I predicted that Ken Cooch would lose because he was so conservative? Well, now that he is polling better than any of the statewide GOP candidates, I have to come up with some phony excuse and it might as well be that it is because the Dem candidate was a bad candidate.” Now, resume ignoring L.I., the moron.
F you, John Doe. I have already admitted that Cuccinelli has run a great campaign. He has done much better than I expected, but even the most diehard Cooch fan recognizes the awfulness of Shannon’s candidacy and campaign. I never said Cuccinelli would lose because he was so conservative, it was because he often put his foot in his mouth. He has shown remarkable restraint this elec tion season. Any of the GOP candidates would have wiped the floor with Shannon. Get over yourself and your false outrage.
I disagree that any of the GOP candidates would have “wiped the floor” with Shannon, but I think any of them would have beat him.
It’s interesting – I have talked to several LCRC members that supported other AG nominees and they have all been very happy with KC, and been honest that their candidate probably would not have been as successful in putting Shannon in his place. Some have not been as gracious, but that’s to be expected.
Could we have a polite exchange of ideas on these blogs; perhaps a little more substantive than, F-you?
This ain’t New Jersey.
Here in Virginia, we have a long tradition of ticket splitting and citizens crossing party lines to support the individuals and the issues that they like. Given that today’s opponent may likely be tomorrow’s ally, it is prudent to treat one another with courtesy.
Mr. Shannon’s chief problem is that he has run a campaign using devices normally associated with Republican candidates, such as trying to scare our women with the specter of pedophiles hiding behind every tree, when that is a very rare crime. He also has repeatedly crowed how he would put more Virginians in jail, when most successful Democrats talk about finding ways for our citizens to be gainfully employed. It has become clear, that to Mr. Shannon, prosecuting our citizens is just a box score, where the more people he can get in jail are considered by him to be wins. It seems to have never occurred to Mr. Shannon that a Democratic candidate should be a champion of the Constitution and stand for equal justice for all.
After hearing Mr. Shannon, I wondered if he had ever wrongfully prosecuted our people, just to boost his box score of wins?
This die hard Cuccinelli agrees their guy was a AA player while our guy is a major league all star. I have had the opportunity to talk to Ken twice in the last three days. His address to the LCRC rally last night was upbeat, funny and smart. This guy is going to make an top notch AG.
I will be serving big old plates of crow to some of you come Tuesday let me know how you want it cooked .
Forgive the veteran perspective, but if you really mean worst statewide candidate ever you may have to go back to John Chichester in 1985. It was not so much that he lost to Doug Wilder as that he ignored input from pretty much everyone, acted like he had it locked up until he was about 6 weeks out, then insisted on campaigning close to home rather than head out to places like NoVA, Hampton Roads…you know, places with lots of voters.
Say what you will about Shannon, you need to go way back for worst ever.
2nd Place-tossup between Edie Dalton (1989) and Buster O’Brien (1985)
Lets see, I remember he was going to loose because he was too conservative. He was going to drag the entire ticket down with him. He was going to set the Republican party back decades or more. All of which was crap.
He has run one of the smartest campaigns in recent history without throwing anyone under the bus or compromising his principled positions in any way.
Ken Cuccinelli is a winner ! he will win tomorrow and beyond.
KC4AG………….KC4AG…………..KC4AG
JTB, that was my immediate reaction to John Doe calling me a moron. I write from the top of my head. A bit over the top sometimes but honest and unfiltered.
John Doe, many of us did believe that Cooch would be a disaster. We were wrong and we have all admitted that. Do I still believe my candidate at the convention would make a better AG? Yes I do, but you can’t discredit people’s political opinions like that. Not all of us bleed for Ken Cuccinelli.
Can we stop rehashing all that and get to criticizing Shannon a bit? Does anyone else find his voice annoying and robotic??? I can’t wait until all of these commercials are gone from the airwaves!
The ONLY real question I have in regards to tomorrow’s election is whether Loudoun Insider and his buddies at “too conservative” will merely sit home and not vote, or whether they will actually vote straight Democratic ticket. I’d put it at 70-30 that they will just sit home. Course, that makes it 30% likelihood that they will “pull a Dede” at the last minute.
Once again – F you bud. I’ll be working the polls most of the day for the entire GOP ticket. Keep frothing at the mouth.
I’ll be working the polls tomorrow as well, as part of the McDonnell legal team efforts, just I like I did for the McCain campaign last year. And I will, as I always do, vote the Republican ticket up or down.
.
Given Shannon’s horrible campaign, any of the three candidates in the primary could have beat him. Cuccinelli was the most dangerous in terms of potential negatives of the three and he is blowing Shannon out of the water. Foster or Brownlee would have had it even easier.
SOME of us have memories, “bud”: [from http://www.tooconservative.com/?p=3203 "People like Frederick and Cuccinelli are the ones sending it (the Republican Party) into the crapper here in Virginia." And "Cuccinelli is a very divisive figure."
And let's not forget this gem: ...."Plus, I’d bet McDonnell is praying Cooch is taken down now. If that zealot is on the ballot, Shannon cruises and McDonnell is weakened."
[Furry Gatens, on February 17th, 2009]
“You get it, Furry.”
Loudoun Insider, on February 17th, 2009
Oh, OHHHH, Let’s not forget this gem by LI: “I contend that Cuccinelli is not electable statewide.” [http://www.tooconservative.com/?p=3180] NOW he’s claiming that the reason Cooch is beating the pants off the Dem is because the Dem ran such a poor campaign. And every regular reader knows that I have just scratched the surface of L.I.’s vicious posts against Cuccinelli.
Sorry, LI, the search option on this blog puts to rest your lying ways.
You really make no sense? If by your logic, every time our candidate in the primary or convention lost, we would then have to support the other party. It doesn’t work that way.
And, LI, I do indeed agree with you about his voice lol.
LI was against Cooch before he was for him – big deal. I’m guessing (just a hunch) that Deeds is picking up plenty of support from people who backed McAuliffe and Moran in the primary.
Dan and Rob, you either don’t know “moderates” and RINOs like I know moderates and RINOs, or you are ones yourselves. Moderates and RINOs “go Dede” towards Democrat candidates when the conservative candidates win the primary faster than flys flock to $h!t.
John Doe’s definition of moderate is apparently anyone to the left of Ron Paul.
John, seeing as I’m Hoffman’s college republicans chairman, I don’t think I qualify as a Dede supporting RINO. My support of Tom Tancredo and Duncan Hunter in the presidential primaries also negates that…
Glad to hear that you aren’t a moderate or a RINO, Danny Boy. Guess you just ain’t been around long if you think it is a given that the moderates and RINOs will actually vote for any Republican who is even purportedly conservative.
John Doe – I’m liking the cut of your jib!
I was thinking the same thing when I read this post, by LI.
LI – We’re waiting for you to admit that you were wrong and to apologize for your obvious lack of political acumen.
Anyone paying attention over these many months know the volumes of wrong headed predictions pertaining to Cuccinelli that have been made.
It’s nice to know we were right they were wrong, end of story.
Say it along with me, Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli. Now that has a good sound to it.
Leave LI alone. A lot of us thought Cuccinelli would not come up to muster in a statewide contest. I still think John Brownlee or Dave Foster would have faired better. But Cuccinelli was very smart and hired Chris LaCivita as his campaign manager. There’s no better, folks.
My two cents:
One big reason the Dems are tanking is because after puuting together a big and broad enough coalition to sweep Obama in, they are now in the process of fragmenting and eating one another over the particulars.
The Obama numbers in places like the 86th are supposed to magically sweep in a nonentity like Miller because of the “D”.
The Coordinated Campaign stew of Obama objectives, our absentee governor, and beaucoup union bucks has not let any VA Dem even remotely run a coherent campaign.
By and large, they’re screwed.
The republicans are poised to win big.
Boys and girls, anons and sockpuppets, do you think we could all manage to successfully COMPLETE the election before we start eating each other (again)?
lol
Best advice I ever got in dancing: don’t think about where you’re going, think about where you are. If you don’t do what you’re supposed to be doing RIGHT NOW, you don’t ever get where you’re going!
Now go put up some signs or volunteer to drive people to the CORRECT polls tomorrow, or something productive! lol
KC4AG! Oh yeah, and I think that Shannon is an awful candidate and that his voice is grating and robotic, and that everything else about him is annoying too… But that’s just because he is a liberal.
Welcome back, LI. Unlike some other diehard Cooch fans from the beginning, there is no more gloating about the primary/convention. Its over and we have all unified around this ticket and for those who keep coming back with “I told you so” stuff need to knock it off so we can sail into tomorrow.
As for worst candidate ever? William Dolan lost not once, but twice. Then there is Joe Canada, who ripped into his own party (Coleman and Dalton) in 1977 before getting steamrolled by Chuck Robb for LG. And then, how can we forget Donald McEachin, who lost to Jerry Kilgore (!!!) in one of the most one-sided beatdowns ever in Virginia statewide history.
LI, one last thing . . . how’s it looking out there for Rust and Grearson?
B-T-Dubs, a friend of mine came up with the best line for Smilin’ Steve.
Steve Shannon: Boy Prosecutor
What the hell could Ken be doing any better. Do all of you Ken haters really think the other two ag candidates would be leading by more than 20%. Ken is doing better that Bill or Bob in most of the polls. I don’t know what else he could do.
The boy prosecutor’s voice is irritating, this I agree with!
John Doe is really J-Fred, in case there was any doubt.
It’s interesting that Cuccinelli is being hit in exactly the way LI (and I) expected: lack of prior prosecutorial experience, lack of law firm managerial experience and social extremism. In my support of John Brownlee, I, too, believed that Cuccinelli was unelectable as a result. The only reasons KC is even in the race is because Shannon has run a listless campaign and McDonnell (not Cuccinelli) has run a solid one. In other words, his drafting would make any NASCAR fan envious.
“… then insisted on campaigning close to home rather than head out to places like NoVA, Hampton Roads…you know, places with lots of voters.”
This could be a description of Creigh’s problems this year, and Kilgore’s in 2005.
Chris, you STILL don’t get it. This isn’t about “I told you so”, this is about the way that “moderates” and RINOs act when election day comes and the conservative Republican’s name is on the ballot. I don’t trust ‘em any further than I can throw ‘em. And even if the conservative wins, they make excuses for it (the opponent ran a terrible race…the economy is bad…the conservative hired a great campaign manager…blah blah blah) to explain it away–it has to be anything except that the voters PREFER the conservative. Meanwhile, they bide their time, waiting in the wings for the next time that they can sabotage the Republican conservatives. Instead of ignoring it, and pretending as though we are all coming together to sing Kumbaya, as you seem to believe, I just call it as it really is.
(Now, if you really see the above-mentioned reality, and you are just pretending to sing Kumbaya with traitors such as L.I., and pretending that we are all on the same team while you watch out for that knife that you KNOW he and his kind will stick in our backs later, then good for you, and disregard this entire comment.)
Nope. Ken Cuccinelli is running away with this race because he’s just what he’s always been, smart, funny, and totally consistent in his conservative views. On top of that, there is NO BETTER campaigner than Ken. That was more than evident at the convention (where I was a Brownlee supporter) and has been evident since. Ken rallies the troops, gets his supporters fired up to work hard for him, and he gets out the vote. That’s the way to win elections! He’s been out spent in every race he’s ever been in, yet he’s won. I’ve said for a while that Ken will help bring votes to our up ticket candidates and down ticket folks. My prediction, he’ll get more votes than anyone else on our ticket and win by 16 points. A candidate like that deserves our admiration and our support.
As for Steve, well, he was a great candidate in Vienna, and I am shocked by how awful his campaign has been. I didn’t notice that he looks about 20 until I saw him in his television ads. Television makes him look SO young! Who wants the state’s highest law enforcement officer to be 20? Not only does he look 20, but he sounds like a 20 year old reading a script. Just awful.
I am a moderate. I supported Foster in the primary. I will be voting for Cuccinelli tomorrow.
Lloyd the Idiot,
Ya’ll just can’t stand it that you were wrong. Get over it, Ken was the best candidate and he has proven it. There is a reason that he is doing so well and its not all McDonnell. If it was Bolling would be doing as well as Ken in the polls however Ken is a few points ahead of even Bolling in most polls. Get ready to see a lot more of Ken in the next 20 years.
Lloyd,
Bob McDonnell didn’t recruit Ken! When did Ken NOT run a great campaign. I think you have things backward, Bob didn’t help Ken win, Ken is adding to Bob’s win. Look at the polls, it’s Ken who has the widest margin of victory.
Alright, Lloyd I guess there is a reason for you using the moniker “idiot.” It has helped that Shannon has been terrile but he’s still outspending Ken something like 9-1. Unlike what many of you thought, Ken has run a hard, discipled campaign that has never shied away from the issues he cares about but mixed in some humor and was able to relate it to every day concerns. I saw it at the debate in Prince William do it. He has never said something controversial that would get him in trouble (like you all thought he would), he’s run on principles and he’s run with McDonnell and Bolling (you guys thought he couldn’t). In short, he’s done everything possible to win this race, done it excellent, and motivated the base in ways nobody else could. He’s also protected McDonnell’s right flank and made sure those voters will get out to vote without have to make McDonnell reach for them.
He’s run as close to a perfect campaign as you can get. The attacks you’ve talked about have bounced off them because they are myths. You don’t need deep prosecutorial experience for this job (only Gilmore really had that), you need an understanding of the office and principles you communicate to the public about what you want to do.
Cuccinelli has won this race in ways all his supporters like me knew he would and say he would. Everything you guys said would have never did. Now lets unite and win this thing.
Lloyd, so how did KC get on this ticket again? By running a shabby campaign? No, on the contrary, he ran the best campaign of all of the good candidates that were chosen from at the convention. In fact, he ran the best. (Hence he is the candidate.)
Wow, that Washington commPost editorial really helped boy prosecutor Shannon there! Just curious, does Shannon have to declare what the commPost did as an “in-kind contribution?” LOL
Let’s have a good day tomorrow. It’s been a long time coming.
“The ONLY real question I have in regards to tomorrow’s election is whether Loudoun Insider and his buddies at “too conservative” will merely sit home and not vote, or whether they will actually vote straight Democratic ticket. I’d put it at 70-30 that they will just sit home. Course, that makes it 30% likelihood that they will “pull a Dede” at the last minute.”
You moron. Go cry somewhere else so everyone here won’t see you for what you really are.
Everyone of the fellows that you deride has come on board to support Ken in one way or another. Every one of them has pulled duties centered around the entire ticket. It helps that Ken has reigned in some of his demeanor (I mean that very positively) and has promoted a unified front on the entire ticket. I admire that in him.
All that’s left is for some of his supporters to humble themselves and recogise the rest of the ticket. And stop bashing the rest of us and assigning bullspit properties to us that we don’t possess. It makes you look weak and pathetic to do so in the shadow of a race that is far from over.
My, my, my, look at that. On the cusp of a possible major victory, and you people are cutting and slashing each other like drunken sailors in a dockside dive — OVER YOUR OWN GUY NO LESS!!!
What Munsey said (very well) in the previous posting up there.
Wolverine….these are the idiots of the lot.
They assign absolutely fictional motives to those they aren’t smart enough to understand.
And they’re the very same ones who snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in several races in our past.
It’s basic jealousy at it’s root. They play checkers…we play chess.
Every single thing that LI ever put out about Ken’s percieved weaknesses was explored by the democrats. As was foretold by LI.
Thankfully, the AG opposition party is so lame they never went deeper on any of those investigations.
Hey, can’t you all wait unfil the election is in the barn before ripping new ones?
I noted on my blog last spring I was backing Cooch, and for some of the very reasons listed above-a disciplined campaigner, good on the stump, good ground game. But one thing that has happened that I don’t think anyone expected is that Cooch has campaigned like he was running for AG, while Shannon has campagined like he is running for Commonwealth’s attorney. Shannon was wrong on the need for a special session regarding expert testimony; he misunderstands the law regarding the AG and the role he plays when a legislator is accused of misconduct, and he seems to have no idea how the office of the AG is run and managed.
Cooch has succesfully va why he wants to be AG. Shannon has engaged in the “culture warrior” tactics that he keeps expecting of Cooch, and has paid the price.
Dean, pardon me while I fall over.
Thanks!
Let’s all go win, guys!
OK?
Ahhh. The Bulletproof Monk steps in and assigns greatness to Loudoun Insider. It’s because he is so smart that he said what he said. “He foresaw how the Dems would attack Cooch! LISTEN to him next time. He plays chess, while you morons in the trenches are playing checkers!”
You. Effen. Moron.
Loudoun Insider is no different than a Kraut inside your trench in WWI. If the next bayonet charge by the enemy is successful, expect him to plunge his into your back. If not, he’ll wait until the next one. Or the next. But hey, he SAYS he’s on your side. You BELIEVE him, don’t you!!!?
John Doe, we all aren’t going to always agree (remember, I’m Satana, the developer’s whore?), but we have a good ticket we can all agree on and support.
If you and Dean or LI want to have at it at 30 paces under the liveoaks, I’m sure someone can not only set you up with vintage pistols but provide costumes too.
Now, write out your challenge on some good rag paper in india ink, and slap them in the face with it…
AT THE VICTORY PARTY! lol
John Duh….pardon me while I giggle at your anonymity. You really, really mean what you say, huh?
And WE ARE THE ONES in the trenches, dipspit. I’ve never seen you in those trenches. Probably because you are so meek you won’t even put your name to any assignment.
Barbara….if it’s true, I can’t argue with it. We need to focus and be rid of these moronic diversions by those who can’t seem to fix on what exactly is important at this moment.
Oh, he he. Let’s make fun of the fact that the moderates/RINOs want to screw us. He he. Isn’t this fun. He he. Hey, let’s pretend that we’ll have a duel at dawn. He he. Aren’t we funny?! he he. You. Dumb. Effen Biotch.
The RINOs and Moderates are in the trenches with us, waiting to stab us in the back. Laugh about it all you want.
Dean, don’t you have a costume and some good paper and ink yourself?
Seriously.
Save it for later.
Everybody.
(as for “if it’s true”, if that refers to me as Satan, I cite the fact that I have as much cause as anyone to slice people up myself. What for, today, now? The more you jump on Doe the more you feed it yourself. If you feel compelled to have a pissing contest, there are plenty of Dem candidates available.)
Doe, I’m not in a trench. It’s where I might have crawled years ago if I were fainthearted.
But I’m not.
Are you really mad at LI and Dean, or are you trolling for dissension in the ranks the night before battle?
Someone who wants to stab me will have to take a number. It doesn’t even hurt anymore.
Yes, lol.
This is the time for Dems to be bitter, not people supporting Republican candidates.
Barbara, there’s no point in engaging with John Doe. He’s clearly got some kind of psychological issue going on there.
At the risk of fanning the flames…
Let me suggest it is possible that all the reasons above for the Cooch edge-the positive ones the Cooch partisans trumpet, the positive forces mentioned by those who opposed Cooch for the nod, and the fact that Shannon has run a terrible campaign.
After all, it takes a lot of things to happen to create a 16 to 20 (depending on the poll) edge.
Forgive me, I meant:
Let me suggest it is possible that all the reasons above for the Cooch edge-the positive ones the Cooch partisans trumpet, the positive forces mentioned by those who opposed Cooch for the nod, and the fact that Shannon has run a terrible campaign-are valid.
Though not an initial supporter, I am excited about KC’s race. And Chris LaCivita is the undisputed best.
Bwana,
I agree, it has taken a number of factors for all three candidates to build up the leads they have includeing the fact that each of the three help the others. Ken has allowed Bill and Bob to run as main stream guys and still bring out the base. Ken is helped by the fact that so many moderates are supporting Bill and Bob.
Ohhh. Babs is a big talker. And Brian S is a pscychologist. Yeah, let’s just ignore the moderates and RINOs, because we won this election. Let’s ignore all the times they (metaphorically Babs) stabbed us in the back. All is well because they didn’t Eff us, THIS TIME.
We didn’t win it yet.
I’d like to win them all tomorrow.
So, who are you voting for in the HOD, Doe?
Thank you for that, Lauren Yoder. That may well be the best and most accurate description of what I’ve seen out there. I like Ken as a team member much better than I liked him as an individual. And as Bolling said of he and McDonnell…he realized that rather than rip each other apart, they ultimately realized how much stronger they were together. If Ken plays well within that structure,–as it appears he does indeed, I welcome him to the team.
John Doe…what is funny as hell is your inability to be a man and identify yourself. Jeff Frederick posting anonymously is indeed a pretty funny image to get out of one’s head.
No, there’s no use in gloating…especially BEFORE the election…but this hopefully has been instructive for some of you who were so dimissive of those of us supporting Ken. At the time, I gave several reasons why I thought Ken would actually turn out to be a general election asset, and I was rather rudely dimissed. Well, it turns out I was right. We are all on the same team now and there’s no reason to be nasty about it, but I hope that NEXT time some of you will be a touch less arrogant and actually try listening for a change.
The one thing that can’t be overlooked about having Ken on this ticket is the way that he’s protected McDonnell’s right flank. By motivating the base and generating scores of volunteers all over the state, he’s brought enthusiam to the ticket while allowing McDonnell to focus on the issues that are truly on voter’s minds, like the economy and transportation.
There were pragmatic reasons to support Ken before the convention, and that was one of them. Yes, Shannon has run a lousy campaign, yes, the other Republicans probably would have won as well–but that’s not the question. The question is…how would have the totality of the race shaken out? I think Bob’s numbers are healthier today because Ken is on this ticket.
I think you are right, NovaCon, but this is in large part due to the national Obama maliase that has set in. Electoral conditions could not be better for Republicans in general right now, especially conservative Republicans. Obama has pushed too far to the left and people (especially Virginians) are pushing back.
[...] I have to agree with Loundon Insider and say that Steve Shannon has run one of the most lackluster statewide campaigns I have ever [...]
Come on. Those of you claiming KC’s opponents would have done even better and that KC is just riding coattails … has it occurred to any of you that maybe at least of few of McDonnell’s points are actually primarily KC supporters?
.
Ken draws support from some folks that otherwise would be lukewarm on this ticket and perhaps would not be voting at all if it weren’t for the opportunity to elect Ken. I’m not saying he’s the one wearing the coat, but I certainly believe he has garnered more votes for this ticket than he has lost.
This backlash against LI was inevitable. LI campaigned hard against Cuccinelli for months posting all types of intemperate comments and assertions against Cuccinelli. And actually LI was posting the same type of stridently anti-Cuccinelli diatribes prior to KC’s most recent (successful) State Senatorial campaign as well.
I wonder why we never saw those ads about Ken being supported by terrorists or Ken’s not wanting to register his son for a SSN making him a black helicopter wing-nut? Shannon never ran those ads?
Shannon (I will have to agree with LI) ran a horrible campaign, but that’s not why Ken is spanking him. He took too much advice from John Brownlee’s campaign and tried to make it a campaign on being a prosecutor. Worse yet he became ultra-negative in his attacks. Shannon also seems to not be able to think at all on his feet, and must be fed lines during debates. All this ads up to a very poor candidate.
Say what you want about Ken, he’s very smart, and runs excellent campaigns! Just ask any of those that have run against him. Seems to me so far he’s 6-0 in campaigns and if things go according to the way they look tomorrow, he will be 7-0. It’s hard to argue with a long trail of political corpse’s behind Ken’s rise to victory.
Yeah–my problem wasn’t that he supported Brownlee, it was that he was a jerk about it and really tried to trash Ken. Its a little too much to ask everyone just to forget that.
NovaCon I could give two shits whether you forget or not. Go on with your life, just vote tomorrow.
Nobody ever forgets anything.
But we have more important things to do today than pick each other apart.
Oh, I can’t wait to see official results trickling (flooding) in this evening!
Pretty f’n ironic, “The Bulletproof Monk” complaining about my pen name. Or is your first name really “The,” Mr. Monk? And how would me identifying myself make me more of a man? At any rate, if it makes you feel better, I’ll tell you. If you promise to quit being a little whiner about it.
And Ms. Munsey, I’m voting straight GOP, as I have for the past 22 years. I’m still hoping for a more conservative Dem to run vs. a liberal Pub so that I can claim to be independent.
Finally, as “far right” as people such as Brian S say that I am, I NEVER said anything negative about any Pub during the primaries. Meanwhile, Loudoun Insider was letting his Democratic colors shine for all to see.
“I’ll be working the polls tomorrow as well, as part of the McDonnell legal team efforts, just I like I did for the McCain campaign last year.”
Yeah. What a “great contribution” that is. I, too, was part of the McCain “legal team” efforts last year, which meant I spent eight hours in the basement of the RNC waiting for phone calls, and received two, which I was supposed to pass along to some other, less-experienced attorney who then seemed to be engaged in data entry. It was work that could have been performed by a mediocre paralegal, so let’s not get carried away with how important what you’re doing is, Brian.
I had the same opportunity for this year, and declined when I learned the details, on the theory that one Election Day spent in an ill-considered and futile clusterf*** was enough for me.
