(26,573 posts)They're gearing up for a big smear of McAuliffe. Really doesn't matter if it's true. We can only hope Virginia voters will vote for what's good for them and not the 1%.

(54,059 posts)I was on the phone about ten minutes ago with someone very involved in the campaign, and he says that we should expect an outright avalanche of Republican money being thrown into this race on the Republican side. It doesn't mean we lose at the last minute, but it does mean no slacking off until the day after the election. No Charles Evans Hughes surprises permitted.

Throw in a murder or 2 and he might drop below 40.

(26,549 posts)McAuliffe is one of the architects of the Clinton administration's "third way" policies.
There's no particular reason to vote for McAuliffe, but there's plenty of reasons to vote against Kooch the insane.

(26,573 posts)but he'll be a decent governor for Virginia and bring some sanity back to that state. One more step towards saving America from the Republican party.

(1,782 posts)where I live in VA you have a choice between electronic and paper ballots.
Paper ballots are what we need, but the way it's set up they're almost meaningless because:
* even the paper ballots are counted electronically, leaving open the possibility of systemic fraud, and
* as long as a lot of the votes are done on computer, votes can still be flipped and some paper ballots won't make any difference.
Usually the lines for computerized voting are longer than the ones for paper ballots. Go figure.
