SurveyUSA: Blowout Coming For VA Republicans
By Greg L | 2 November 2009 | Virginia Politics | 16 Comments
These numbers are phenominal:
Governor:
Bob McDonnell 58
Creigh Deeds 40
Lt. Governor:
Bill Bolling 57
Jody Wagner 41
Attorney General:
Ken Cuccinelli 59
Steve Shannon 39
And the impact on the House of Delegates races? Priceless. If the election turns out like this, ten is the minimum pick-up for Republicans.

SWEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Democrats only real hope is ballot fatigue at this point, blunting their HOD losses. That might still come into play, but its going to hurt with this kind of difference. This isn’t because McDonnell is winning Democrats and actual swing voters over in a tidal wave but because a lot of Dems aren’t coming out this cycle for a variety of reasons.
You’re going to see improved numbers for the GOP from the 2005 cycle but not by much. The Democrats numbers are going to be abysmal. With so much difference in the polling, there are going to be places in the state where the Democratic electorate resembles non-Governor year state elections (2007, 2003, and so forth.) as opposed to the Democrats ‘05 numbers.
Dont count your chickens…GET OUT AND VOTE!!!
Let’s bury the Dems!!! GET OUT AND VOTE TOMORROW!!! Let’s aim for 60 PERCENT!!!!!!!!!!
At that point, we should have in the low to mid-60s in terms of GOP Delegates.
We live for an instant, only to be swallowed in complete forgetfulness and the void of infinite time on this side of us. Think how many ere now, after passing their life in implacable enmity, suspicion, hatred… are now dead and burnt to ashes.
The single most exciting thing you encounter in government is competence, because it’s so rare. –Daniel Patrick Moynihan, 1976
For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. 12 Luke 48
I’ll tip my hat to the new constitution / Take a bow for the new revolution / Smile and grin at the change all around / Pick up my guitar and play / Just like yesterday / Then I’ll get on my knees and pray / We don’t get fooled again.

Kick ‘em in the knee!
Rah Rah Rass,
Kick ‘em in the other knee!

Well, let’s not count the Delegates before they are elected. That said, these numbers are certainly encouraging. Do we have an idea of the D/R/I split on the poll, and other demographic data?
Elect them - and watch them.
Remember 1994.
I am seeing RED
no blue no purple just plain old RED!
PLEASE, LET’S NOT JINX ANYTHING…..GET OUT THERE AND VOTE!!!!!
Hurray! No more robocalls!
(At least until the next election)
Getting out and voting is a MUST - we can’t be overly confident.
Interestingly enough, I ran across this story about Dave Albo’s opponent, Greg Werkheiser. ( http://politicalincubus.com/2009/11/01/greg-werkheiser-the-acorn-doesnt-fall-far-from-the-tree/ )
It looks like Werkheiser has had a ton of ACORN money and volunteers. I wonder why ACORN would be so interested in electing this guy to office?
Stop Acorn fraud is right…don’t take anything for granted at this point. Acorn has been all over the place. I live in the same community as zuzu and I also saw SEIU going door to door with clipboards. The people they did get to talk to spent several minutes with them filling out some sort of paperwork. They weren’t just signing up for emails or newsletters because they spent far too much time on this “paperwork”. I wouldn’t put anything past this bunch. Please, everyone…take it to the ballot box and TOMORROW NIGHT, we’ll celebrate but not just yet.
