NBC12 Reports Lt. Gov Race Called for Democrat

State Senator Ralph Northam has been called the winner in the Lt. Governor's race.  This sets up a special election to replace Northam which will determine control of the State Senate.

It's Election Day in Virginia

Polls have been open since 6:00 AM and will remain open until 7:00 PM. If you value your liberty, please vote, and vote for VSSA endorsed candidates Ken Cuccinelli for Governor, E.W. Jackson for Lt. Governor, and Mark Obenshain for Attorney General.

Don't worry about polls showing McAuliffe winning. Today is the only poll that counts. But for those who do watch polls, I offer this piece from Shaun Kenney at Bearing Drift that should give you a ray of hope in the midst of polls showing McAuliffe with an average of a 6 point lead. We can make a difference, if we vote.

Defend Freedom, Defeat McAuliffe

Today, VSSA endorsed Ken Cuccinelli, E. W. Jackson, and Mark Obenshain earlier today.

This Should Concern All Gun Owners

Pundits are predicting that the Democrats are in good shape to pick up the first two races on this year's statewide ballot, leaving the third - the Attorney General's race, as the final piece. The Richmond Times Dispatch's political commentator Jeff Schapiro asks the question, if voters pull the lever for the first two candidates for the Democrats, what's to stop them from doing it for the third.

It's not like it hasn't happened before. We only have to go back twelve years to 2001 when Virginians voted for Democrats Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, but also elected Republican Jerry Kilgore Attorney General. That year, gun owners ended up with two of the three candidates elected (Warner and Kilgore) being pro-gun (Warner went on to sign numerous pro-gun bills, and never vetoing a good gun bill). This year, all three Democrats vocally favor new gun control laws and McAuliffe is so confident of victory that he is opening touting gun control on his web site and in last night's debate.
