#1 Popcorn please.

GO McAuliffe (GOP gets an R gov for redistricting, very important).

#3 I can't decide who to vote for in the primary (Virginia has open primaries).

No way in hell will I vote for McAsshole; Moron's not looking good either. Deeds might actually make a decent Governor should he win, unless he's a tax and spend Dem like so many of the rest of them (don't know enough about him to be sure; I'm sure about McAsshole & Moron). I could just skip it. Decisions, decisions....

AG Bob McDonald, who seems to be a good guy, pretty much has the Republican nomination sewn up, so no decision needed there.

#4 OS - I'll be happy with an R governor who's not a loon, but the legislature is more important for redistricting here. Right now (Republican-majority) House Appropriations is holding the line on more taxes, though the Dems are whining mightily about it. Redistricting should be interesting - no doubt the Dems will want even more gerrymandered districts than we already have.

Lucklily, we have a part-time legislature, so they can't do but so much damage....

#5 Barbara, I think the question is: which candidate could McDonald beat? Vote for him.
I'm glad you told me that VA has open primaries. I am registered as an independent, so I thought I couldn't vote in primaries.

#6 We've had them for a long time, Rambler. Nothing's changed since last year (when I voted in the Dem presidential primary) as far as I know.

I think McDonald can beat them all if he'll be not nice in response to their lying nastygrams via a complicit press and lie-through-their-teeth TV commercials (which have already started).
