re: #273 HappyWarrior

Looks like Obensham is oging to pull out the AG race here. Oh well. The only good thing I see coming from this is he’ll be forced to do his job knowing that he was the only Republican elected state wide this year and knowing furthermore if he wants to be anything more than our state’s AG, he can’t follow the Cuccinelli path.I strongly expect him to run for Senate in 2018 against Kaine or in 2017 against presumably Northam (Lt Governor elect and Jackson slayer) for governor. I do think that being in a tight spot though will sour his relationship with Virginia ultra-conservatives though.

With a Dem Gov and Lt Gov, as well as a legislature that is at least nominally split along party lines, I doubt he’s gonna be able to get up to much. Or at least do much that will amount to anything but rearranging the deck chair on the Titanic.
