They’re 100% going to nominate the lady that had to sit in the idiot box

OK, get ready for this one. Virginia's GOP--reeling from losing every statewide election since 2009--just decided on its method to nominate GOV, LG, AG. No primary, no canvass. It's a drive-up "convention" on May 8 at one location only: LIBERTY UNIVERSITY.

2. Kirk Cox most likely. I don't see it being Chase.

They do have some rich boys jumping in but Cox has much deeper ties to the party establishment and machinery.

3. But why do you think they chose Liberty U? Nt

4. Well it is a little less of a drive for the far western part of the state.

It’s still 3 hours from Bristol. 4 hours at least from both NoVa and Tidewater. Screw you Eastern Shore. Remember the Byrd Machine was built on the “Southside” - rural farmers south of Richmond to the Carolina border.

I’m guessing Liberty is symbolic for them. Who knows?

5. This is how our VA-05 numbnuts Congressman #1 (Riggleman) was primaried and lost

to numbnuts Congressman #2 (Good).
