So, Cooch was out of cash for the last two weeks and yet he still managed to pull within several points of the heavily funded McAuliffe.

Sounds like he was poorly funded by the GOP to me and that was the cause of his loss.

Oh dear, the GOP really should stop blaming the Tea Party for their losses.

I will NEVER believe that Cruz cost the Republicans the governorship of Virginia.

ALL POLITICS IS LOCAL. We know this. When I vote in Georgia I am voting for who runs my state. Whomever speaks in the House or the Senate is unimportant when I cast my vote for Governor of Georgia.

My goodness! This is beyond ridiculous. Just because SOMEONE said this line of garbage does NOT MEAN IT IS TRUE.

I vote for my Senators, Congressman, Governor, and Georgia Representatives based upon local politics and my situation here on the ground in Georgia. I vote as a GEORGIAN, first and foremost.

I don't believe this garbage. It is too easy to blame Cruz for every damn thing. The man is not perfect. But he isn't to blame for the governorship of Virginia, nor is he to blame for the weather on the North Slope of Alaska. He is not a god or a king. He is a United States Senator from Texas. And my understanding is the people of Texas support him and love him.

God bless them.

Attention: The GOP is not obligated to fund candidates from a party (The Tea Party) comprised of is increasingly rebellious and hostile ingrates?

Tea Party....find your own funds.

Ken was the duly elected REPUBLICAN Attorneys General in the state of VA. He won in a Primary sanctioned by the GOP. He was the GOP candidate for Gov in the state of VA.

He WASN'T the Tea Party Candidate. He WASN'T the Libertarian candidate. He WASN'T the Green candidate. He WAS the GOP candidate.

Tea Party Cedric ???

Frank, arguing with some who can't read the word Republican after a candidate's name is a waste of breath.

Edit:Personal attack

Tea Party members defame and besmirch GOP office holders and party officials with ever increasing ferocity, calling them traitors, quislings, crooks, effeminate, drunks, losers, bribe takers, hacks and "worse than Democrats".

They continually, demean Republicans in the most lurid, vile and vulgar terms, maligning them both personally and professionally.

They routinely state that if a Republican defeats a Tea Party candidate in a primary, they'll proudly vote for a Democrat in the general election.

They openly proclaim their irreversible hatred for the GOP and their intent to bring about its demise.

Then, come election time, they actually expect the GOP to help the Tea Party financially.

And woe betide the messenger from Earth who hints at the folly of that expectation.

Eglmans thread by American Thinker says you're wrong. And that the shutdown may have had an ill effect on his chances.
Yes, Virginia, the GOP Establishment did stick a shiv in Ken Cuccinelli

---

Did you read Vadums article? It cites the shutdown briefly by quoting one of Kens guys right after the election saying it MAY HAVE hurt, not knowing any of the stats we have now showing otherwise, and then goes on to slam the hell out of the GOP corporatists leaving them dead in the water.

What happened to Cuccinelli wasn't some back-room conspiracy shrouded in smoke and euphemisms; it was a conscious, overt effort to do serious damage to a Tea Party standard-bearer.

The media is already saying Tuesday's election results show that voters have repudiated the Tea Party.

This is abject nonsense.
