Serious Q for all of the people who voted No:
How do Republicans win Virginia over the next few elections?
GOP has already maxed out its vote in the rural parts of the state and that's proven to be not enough. At the same time southwest Virginia is losing population and NOVA is rapidly gaining population.
I voted "Let's See 2016," but if Republicans are going to win Virginia, then they need to stop nominating guys like Ken Cuccinelli and the completely insane E.W. Jackson. That means getting rid of the convention nomination system and letting all the state's Republicans vote.
They were trying the rural turnout strategy. It scared the party elite half to death, but you have to admit it worked better than expected. Cuccinelli came closer than Romney after all.
I don't know if anybody else noticed this, but when Ken Cuccinelli gave his concession speech, he just read his victory speech in a sad tone of voice. "I'm going to fight to create jobs" and "You sent this President a clear message about Obamacare!" Well, he tried to turn it into a "referendum" on the Affordable Care Act, and while it won him some votes in the end, the voters, by his logic, supported it. And, not to mention, he never called Terry McAuliffe to concede like any sensible candidate would have.
