Let's focus away from this and go to the LtGov race here.

The Republican candiate, EW Jackson, to say the least, is a f***ing lunatic. He has history of saying that Planned Parenthood has done more to harm the black community than the KKK, President Obama is an anti-Semite, and that Obama "clearly has Muslim sensibilities.

EW Jackson may be the greatest gift Terry McAuliffe could have ever received. This guy makes Ken Cuccinelli look like Bernie Sanders.

Yes, he'll be very harmful to Kuccinelli (even more than Kuccinelli is to Kuccinelli). Alvin Greene would have been a better option.

BTW, this guy ran for Senate las year, and he got less than 5% in the GOP primary. You have to be some kind of crazy person to run against Allen in a GOP primary in VA and think you can win.

This guy... EW Jackson will be the new face of the GOP for 6 months if Democrats do their job right. They don't call him Ew for nothing.

The Virginia GOP have given the Democrats a great line of attack. You can bet that even if Cuccinelli manages to move to the center, the Democrats will be able to lump him in with E.W. Jackson, who has said such great lines such as these:

Plus, Mark Obenshain is the nominee for Attorney General, who is far from a perfect candidate, seeing as he drafted a bill that would force women to report miscarriages to the police or face jail time.

Even though McCauliffe is far from the perfect candidate, Aneesh Chopra is a great candidate and neither of the Dem candidates for AG look like they'll have trouble beating Obenshain. Overall, that helps McCauliffe.

Why would they put this guy on the ticket in a post-Akin world?

Apparently Cooch didn't step in because he was worried about taking heat for blocking an African-American. I don't buy that. He should've exercised his veto.

Virginia elects its lieutenant governors separately, it's not a ticket.

I expect this will hurt Cuckoo's candidacy anyway though.  This EW Jackson guy is a piece of work.

Jackson won't apologize for being batshoot insane, and he also fought against desegregating South Boston in the '80s.

Hence "they", but you're right about ticket being the incorrect terminology.

From what I understand Cuccinelli's camp are distancing themselves from their new LG candidate with statements like "we feel the voters should become comfortable with each member of the ticket individually". Virginia has a long history of split ticket Gubernatorial races, so it wouldn't be that unusual if Cuccinelli won but Jackson lost.

And he withdrew the bill when he realized it would do that.

I don't plan on voting for the guy, but let's be fair to him here.

I'm being as fair as the press and his opponent will be to him. That's what matters come November.

still a more informed view than most people have, who think slaves should have been counted as full persons instead.

I originally thought that the VA Governor's race was a pure tossup due to both candidates being badly flawed, but now I'd have to give a slight edge to McAuliffe.  Cuccinelli, Jackson and Obenshain have a collective history on women's rights which I think is going to be a big problem.  It should not be difficult for us to tie them together.

E.W Jackson had another hit today: Monkeys can't talk, ergo there was no evolution.

Perhaps the silver linning for the VaGOP is that Jackson makes Cuccenelli seem more sane
