Democrat Gerry Connolly’s disgraceful comments prompted me to sign up as a volunteer for Pat Herrity’s campaign. If you live in Northern Virginia, I hope you’ll do the same.

That’s to be expected… I saw his lips move.

Soren, given that Connolly defeated former Rep. Leslie Byrne by 25 points (58-333, with the remainder going to two other candidates), I don’t see how you can say that Kaine’s endorsement of Connolly in the primary “is widely attributed in pushing Connelly over the top.”

Probably the only one who thinks that is Not Larry Sabato, who you linked to. That guy’s a fanatical Byrne supporter who is not exactly playing with 52 cards. However bad Connolly might be, I’d be shocked to find a Republican who thinks a far-left, unrepentant liberal like Leslie Byrne would be an improvement.

Remember Rep. William Jefferson (D-LA), a perfectly good, loyal, corrupt Dem with seniority out the wazoo went down to defeat in a heavily Dem district because the Dems didn’t understand that their candidate had to win the general election in addition to the party primary. Or at least that was Jefferson’s excuse.

…that was a rhetorical question, right?

“It was just a joke, can’t you hear the crowd laughing?”

Really funny, advocating suppression of any American’s right to vote. Right, left or in the middle, the kind of talk should scare us all.
