Virginia GOP considers foregoing primary, nominate by convention

[Türkisblau]

Cruz+1

Or is Cruz too left wing for the people who nominated Cuccinelli and E.W. Jackson?

The VAGOP is actually surprisingly inept, especially here in Hampton Roads.

All I know is that this convention is probably going to be a sad mess.

Despite all that, John Warner was an exceptional senator.

Ironically, he was the second choice behind Obenshain, who died.  Warner also represents a GOP that no longer exists in Virginia (or, really, anywhere)--he certainly couldn't be nominate today.

What do you mean by the first sentence? Obenshain is very much alive.

Mark's dad Richard was running for Senate in 1978 when he died in a plane crash.

Ah, alright. That sentence confused the hell out of me. Interesting fact there.
