News Flash - Small Unpopular Fringe Party Wins In Virginia - UPDATE - And New Jersey

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 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.
