Just a comment before a longer post on the election numbers later...
Conservatives can deliver a victory without the RNC. Look what happened in Virginia without the RNC money, support, or backing. A strong conservative candidate very nearly won the election. An election that saw the liberal with millions in outside money and advertising.
Perhaps conservatives need to just forget the RNC machine and start funding their own candidates.

Give Me Liberty
Some people out there are shocked that the polls are so close this evening. It is 9:44, and Fox News is predicting that McAuliffe will pull out the win. Although this is a huge blow to Virginia and a great loss that sets the stage for national repercussions, there is one bright spot in the darkness.
Virginia fought for freedom.
The numbers we saw tonight showed that your average, everyday, hardworking Americans would not just sit back and accept the Democrat plans for the Commonwealth. They voted. They fought. And they showed that Virginia might be taken, but it will not be defeated.
We'll hang on over the next few years. Is this truly the death knell for Conservatives in Virginia, as so many liberals will claim? I say, "No." This may just be the alarm heard in the Piedmont, through the Shenandoah Valley, across the Blue Ridge, and straight to the Heart of Appalachia. The results of tonight will not truly be known for another three years--and that is more than a lifetime in politics.
We can count ourselves among those fortunate enough to have Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson as our first governors. And we can still hear the echo of Henry's immortal words, spoken in Richmond so many years ago:
"They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance, by lying supinely on our backs, and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. Three millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations; and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest."

Where the Power Is
Just a little observation...Cuccinelli is awaiting election returns in Richmond, the capital of the entire Commonwealth. McAuliffe is in Tysons Corner, the crown jewel of Northern Virginia's government-funded wealth.
Guess we can already see which constituency each man would serve.

Keep the Commonwealth Free!
Get out and vote today, Virginians! Don't let the Cradle of the Presidents turn into the Gutter of the Liberals. Tell McAuliffe, Clinton, and Obama, "Not in my state." Keep Virginia free.
Virginia is the bellwether for the elections in 2016. The liberals don't want McAuliffe to win because he's in the best interest of our people. They want him to win so they have a strong foothold to make Virginia permanently blue in the next national election.
Vote Cuccinelli. Vote Jackson. Vote Obenshain. Vote LaRock. Vote.

Charlottesville is Drone Free!
You may have seen the Drudge headline about the first city to ban drones. That's right--it's beautiful Charlottesville, VA that just added another reason for me to love the city.
Thomas Jefferson would most certainly be proud.

Get Off My Lawn
So Biden's swinging down to Richmond to push his insane anti-gun message by once again exploiting the Tech shooting from several years ago.
Get off my lawn, Joe.

McDonnell Drives Virginia
Interesting proposal from our great governor to remove the gas tax in Virginia. Although I generally am wary of tax "cuts" or "breaks" that add new fees elsewhere--paying Paul by robbing Peter--this might actually turn out to be a good thing.
Guess if the Obama Administration blocks oil and gas drilling off the Virginia coast, Governor McDonnell will just find a way to sell more if it in the Old Dominion.
