What is interesting is that in Virginia both major parties nominated candidates who would be good Governors while in New Jersey both major parties nominated slimebags.

Seems to say something about the political culture of the two states.

I'm glad I don't live in Virginia.

Would you have preferred New Jersey, then?

Actually Christie is the one that put 130 political slimebags in jail, but nice try.

I'm not saying anything about Christie....but why is that relevant?

Christie prosecuted small-time Democrat New Jersey slimebags, while making sure his brother did not get charged for doing the same things at the same employer which resulted in multiple convictions.

Oh, and BTW, what about that politically connected "no bid" contract Christie gave out while U.S. Attorney for New Jersey?

Nice try, but the facts get out.

When did New Jersey ever have better candidates than Virginia?  Never.  Virginia > New Jersey.

Your impossible Smiley. Last chance, it has been called a state with two cities and Alabama in middle.

I don't know of an area in NH that is comparable to Alabama. Okay so I will play along with this. I got nothing better to do.

South of New Hampshire and West of the Hudson River.

I still say Virginia has better candidates.

Kaine > Rendell
Webb and Warner > Specter and Casey
VA 08 > PA 13

I would agree on all of them.

Ridge>Kaine
Mark Schweiker>Mark Warner
Richard Schweiker and Hugh Scott> Webb and Warner

oh and
PA-10 beats VA-08.

Sorry for going back to 70's to beat your current Senators but Toomey hasn't been elected yet. Wink

I'm sure he'd still rather be ahead than behind though. Tongue

I know that polls this far out are useless, but it's just nice to know that McDonnell has a small lead.

Plus, Kaine barely won.

Kaine won by a similar margin to Obama.

Here are the downticket races. Lt Governor:

Bill Bolling (R) - 46
Jody Wagner (D) - 40

Attorney General:

Ken Cuccinelli (R) - 45
Steve Shannon (D) - 38

I'm surprised Bolling is doing that poorly. I was expecting him to start out with a double-digit lead, as he has more money, he's an incumbent, and he's been producing free advertising with his "Lt. Governor's challenge" ads.

Also, I want to barf at the idea of Cuccinelli winning statewide. The only upside would be picking up his State Senate seat.
