Terry and Moran won some odd <500 vote counties.

[WalterMitty]

im quite disappointed in the result.

no progressive in the general election.   how....southern.

[Keystone Phil]

no progressive in the general election. 

You weren't getting that anyway. Terry's ideology is "hack." Nothing more, nothing less.

terry is a pro-business progressive.   the neo-confederate is a gun-totin' populist.

and the republican mcdonnell or whatever his name is, is probably some sort of snake handler.

It's rather amazing what an endorsement from the WaPo can do.

Deeds is a neoconfederate?

[WalterMitty]

Deeds is a neoconfederate?

i wouldnt doubt it, lunar. 

i was being a bit hyperbolic.   i do seem to recall he was named after some confederate soldier.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

The only progressive was Moran. I wish it was him, but I'll take Deeds over that disgusting sack of sh!t who shall not be named.

You love being a jackass sometimes.

um... you voted for Jesse Helms and you're complaining that Deeds (whose conservatism is kind of exaggerated) is too much of a neo-confederate? Okay dude...

Judging from they way Moran was beyond owned throught the west & SW, Dems are probably blessed he's not our candidate for November.

Whassup with Wise County deep in the heart of the SW going for McCaulliffe? Deep Clinton affinity from old time coal-mining culture Democrats?
