really disappointing, Bolling was the only decent one between a couple of sleazebag crooks. Virginia is now going to have a corrupt and sleazy governor for sure, both are ideological windbags.
McAuliffe isn't in the slightest ideological. He's just an ex-DNC chair who happens to be infatuated with Bill Clinton. He's also corporatist, as the person above me said, because he's fairly rich himself. Strikes me as centrist and just your average Clintonite.

Cuccinelli on the other hand... he rules by ideology alone. Democrats had a big opportunity here to launch a rising star, and instead we put a generic D in the spotlight.

Is there a better candidate in Virginia?
My preferred candidate (Tom Perriello) already declined.

Ah, beat me by 2 seconds. I agree Perriello would have been better.
Aneesh Chopra sounds VERY appealing as a Lt. Gov candidate. He's progressive, an ex-CTO, and ex-Secretary of Technology. You have any thoughts on him?
