News Flash -- Republican Bob McDonnell has been projected the winner of the Virginia Governor's race. Proving that even a small, unpopular, fringe party which does not appeal to moderates or independents, can win over a large, popular, mainstream party.
The secret? More votes. Particularly from moderates and independents:.
The secret? More votes. Particularly from moderates and independents:.
The exit polls showed that nearly a third of voters described themselves as independents — the crown jewel of elections because they often determine outcomes — and they preferred McDonnell by almost a 2-1 margin over Deeds.Damn, the progressives hate when that happens.
Particularly when all those "ordinary schmucks" voted in a state with a deep "pool" of white male progressives who voted for Obama just one year ago. Like Virginia.
UPDATE: Is it too early to re-post The Revolt of the Kulaks Has Begun?
UPDATE No. 2: And now New Jersey falls into the small unpopular fringe party column.

JammieWearingFool is going to try to stay up for the New Jersey results, but that might be days and would violate the Geneva Conventions.
