2016, what a strange year. Who would’ve thought one year ago that Donald Trump would be the frontrunner for the GOP nomination, and a 74 year old socialist would be winning primaries in the Democratic presidential campaign?
not confirmed yet, but Jennifer Boysko is a delegate in the VA General Assembly

Bernie beat the polling odds, let’s give him the nomination!

One of them needs to explain how the current vote distribution fatally damages Clinton when the similar map from 8 years ago didn’t prevent Obama from getting elected. Twice.

Oh what the fuck already. She’s still killing Bernie in the popular vote. Party elites my ass. You know if you want to support Bernie that’s fine but stop shitting on the people who actually do support Clinton who are about as far as party elites as you can get.

In fairness, superdelegates are party elites. And Hillary has a big lead among superdelegates. That said, she also has a huge lead among regular delegates.

That’s what a lot of Bernouts are saying. Basically Hillary is only really winning in states that won’t go D in November.

Right, I’m talking about the popular vote though which has gotten her more regular delegates and I don’t blame the SDs for supporting someone actually in their party over someone who has no plans to campaign to get otehr Democrats elected.

So, googling Steve McCullough, I see he’s currently a judge on the Virginia Court of Appeals. Looking for more info.

Spokesperson for an anti-Trump PAC on MSNBC right now doing a lousy job of not looking like she’s backing a lost cause. Wish the host would tell us whose money is backing her group, but cable news channels never do.
re: #8 Backwoods_Sleuth
Keep fucking that horserace chicken, Salon.
Polls may need some pretty serious recalibration, but based on the only numbers that matter at the end of the day, Bernie Sanders fell even further behind Clinton yesterday.
It’s like celebrating holding the other guy to a field goal on a long drive in the 4th quarter when you’re down ten. I mean, yeah, it went better than it could have…

To a certain extent, that’s a good thing when talking about judges.

Yeah I have to agree.
re: #37 Backwoods_Sleuth
also a former Solicitor General of Virginia
Hmmmm I imagine under McDonnell.
re: #30 De Kolta Chair
Would that be the person in charge of the “Our Values” PAC?
Because she was on the BBC the other day, and did not manage to sound convincing.
re: #36 KGxvi

A monthly payment of less than $66 million on a thirty year mortgage!
re: #41 Backwoods_Sleuth
he became a judge in 2011
Ah okay. So perhaps one of Allen or Gilmore’s guys though McDonnell was elected in 2009.
re: #42 Big Beautiful Door

Add in maintenance costs and staffing costs and it gives a whole new meaning to “a hole in the water into which man throws money.”
