I wanted to share with you my thoughts on how the 2012 elections have affected the 2013 campaign for Governor of Virginia. There are many lessons to be learned from the 2012 campaign, and we have a lot of work to do to ensure that we win the Governor’s race in 2013.
The question isn’t, Would Mark Warner clean the floor with whichever Republican would be unfortunate enough to run against him in the 2013 governor’s race?
Last week provided an interesting glimpse into the political right’s pathological dishonesty (and Rachel Maddow did an excellent job of calling attention to it). It turns out that the liars are prone to lying to themselves.
With President Obama being re-elected, now is the time for the President and Congress to get back to work. The 2012 campaigns have ended and now it is time to stop the name calling, bickering and double talk and instead to work together to solve problems that our country faces.
The conventional wisdom has had Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli as the favorite heading into the 2013 Republican gubernatorial-nomination season for some time now.
For the past several weeks, Chris Graham was telling listeners on WREL-1450AM in Lexington, Va., that Democrats were going to do well in the 2012 elections. In today’s installment of “The Chris Graham Show,” he breaks down how the pre-election polls that had been suggesting that Barack Obama, Tim Kaine and others on the Democratic side were able to pull off their Election Day wins.
More than a year of buildup to what had seemed to be an inevitable Barack Obama re-election was washed away in 90 minutes in Denver on Oct. 3. If not for that one night of lethargy from the president, we’d never have come across the term “Ro-mentum,” likely not had to endure 90 minutes of guffaws from Joe Biden a few nights later – and few would have cared that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie decided to focus on his job instead of presidential politiics at the worst of Hurricane Sandy.
It’s an uphill battle, to be sure, for Andy Schmookler, the Democratic Party congressional candidate in the bright-red Sixth District. There’s little that Schmookler, a Shenandoah County writer and political commentator, can do on Election Eve to change the state of the race. So he’s thinking ahead to the postgame.
For those who will go to bed early tomorrow night (except for W&L Professor Mark Rush in Dubai), or those who would rather watch an old movie on the tele, I have decided as a public service to provide results of tomorrow’s election, the most important presidential election this country will conduct – until the next one.
