Massive Resistance 2.0 has no home in the Republican Party. NONE.
In fact, the converse is true: any candidate who cannot stand next to the Confederate flag and articulate the vices and virtues of the Southern Confederacy (and the long and troubled history in dealing with those vices and how they extend to the present day) does not deserve the Governor’s Mansion.
Riggleman has nothing to regret from what was a solid and honorable campaign effort.
The record is brutally clear. Gillespie not only opposed the federal mandate, but built a 25-year public advocacy career against it.
Stewart’s campaign seems flummoxed over the rules. Smart campaigns lean on RPV General Counsel for legal advice. Not a junior lawyer attached to McAuliffe.
Perriello +7, Northam +6 over Gillespie… all others trail.
Gillespie isn’t wrong. Charlottesville is about to blow a lot of cash to little purpose.
