this has to be the weirdest thing................
There is a god. And no you CNN/Obamots, it is not your lord and savior Barack Hussien Obama.
Good choice virginia Terry (the wind bag)McAuliffe doesn't deserve to be your governor.
best news i've heard since before the election in November.
Deeds will go down again in November. Virginia's had enough of that Hope and Change crap.
I would like to take this moment to say "I told you so."
blue state!
Awh, Shucks!
Tsk Tsk....too bad.
HA! McAuliffe is the worst of the worst partisans. He's been a venomous hate-mongerer. No self respecting Democrat with a sense of decency could have voted for such a wretch.
My faith in humanity has been renewed!
This is great for the Dems. My nderstanding is the GOP did want want Deeds to win, they favored McAuliffe. Deeds has them worried.
Who is Deeds? Like Mr. Deeds aka Adam Sandler? Ha ha ha ha Democrats are such a joke!
people see that dems is short for demons and with Obama the anti-christ in office, people are seeing through the smoke and they are not happy.
A great day for Virginia!
Great a good old boy looses!!!
Perhaps there's hope after all !!!
This is the right thing to do as a democrate and I do respect McAuliffe for showing his respect to the party. Thanks
I see VA going back to its republican roots. The stench of Obama is too great. One and done for Oblama.
i knew that virginians had too much class to elected the dirtiest of the clinton gang! way to go virginia – maybe the rest of the country will follow your lead and look at the character of the people we vote for – afterall, they willl do in public office what they do in their private lives and mcawful was the sleaziest of the bunch!
Good. McAuliffe is a total tool. He was a terrible DNC chair. Why reward incompetence with the governor's mansion?
As a Va. conservative, I was happy to see Deeds win today for one reason....he is an ACTUAL Virginian. McAuliffe and all of his "out of state" money from Clinton couldn't even get him the nomination. He had the field blown in away in contributions but got beat by Deeds almost 2 to 1. I love it. Congratulations Deeds. Keep these out of state hacks out of our beloved Virginia politics!
Personally, I like Terry McAuliffe, but no democrat is going to win in Virginia.
liberals are on their way out....bye bye...
Interesting, I just found out that the right wing nuts copy people's names and then make stupid comments using other people's names. Is it immaturity? Yes. LOL. Some day the grown ups will take the republican party back and we will take them seriously again. But Rush Limbaugh? Sarah Palin? Dick Cheney? Newt Gingrich? As long as they are out front, I'm a democrat. Joe Scarborough is at least trying to have a conversation. He's the only republican I actually know of who is speaking any sense – other than Colin Powel, Dick Lugar, Brent Scowcroft, you know, the adults.
Good riddance to more Clinton rubbish.
Good, only Deeds has a chance to win. and I hope he does.
