Dems may make history in VA tomorrow!

[MoonRiver]

Not since 1989 have Dems swept the 3 executive positions. It is now a very real possibility!

With Democrats bullish on their chances at winning the governorship and the lieutenant governor's race -- in which Republicans nominated a long-shot candidate, the fiery former pastor E.W. Jackson -- close watchers of the campaign are eyeing the attorney general's race, shaping up to be Tuesday's only real toss-up.
Democrats haven't swept all three statewide offices in Virginia since 1989, when L. Douglas Wilder became the nation's first African-American governor. It could happen again this year.

3. Chucky Todd has said VA is the canary in the coal mine for ReTHUGS.

It ain't over till it's over. I REALLY REALLY want Mark Herring to be the next Attorney General.

This is the alternative:



Really, here is Obenshain's bill:

http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?091+ful+SB962+pdf <--- read it and vote.

When a fetal death occurs without medical attendance upon the mother at or after the delivery or abortion, the mother or someone acting on her behalf shall, within 24 hours, report the fetal death, location of the remains, and identity of the mother to the local or state police or sheriff's department of the city or county where the fetal death occurred. No one shall remove, destroy, or otherwise dispose of any remains without the express authorization of law-enforcement officials or the medical examiner. Any person violating the provisions of this subsection shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.

Pass this on far and wide!

16. Well they can count on my vote

I sat this campaign out - last summer/fall going door to door for Sen. Kaine fatigued me and I am not crazy about McAuliffe - but I am glad it looks he will win.
