Let's see, he outspent his opponent by 10 to 1. He had the supposed rock stars of the Dem party stumping for him. Northern Virginia is filled with federal employees. The illegal immigration crowd, unions and all the other special interest constituencies went all in. The RNC spent 1/3rd as much on this election as they did to help elect McDonald (who has been hit with various scandals). An Obama bundler was financing the libertarian candidate who siphoned off 6.6% of potential GOP votes.
Despite all that, in a state Obama won twice in a row Terry won by a measly 3 percentage points. Politico has an interesting analysis of this and it is not a pretty picture for Dems heading into 2014, especially since the full reality of Obamacare will be in place by then and it is not going to be good. I suspect by that time anywhere from 50 to 100 million Americans will finally understand that a) they can't keep their current health insurance policy despite the repeated lies; b) they can't keep their current doctor; c) they can't keep their current hospital; d) costs for insurance and care will be going up incredibly faster than ever before; e) the majority of those signing up at healthcare.gov will be older folks with pre-existing conditions and the increasingly large number of poor as a result of Obamanomics signing up for Medicaid. As my kids would say, "FAIL!" while holding up a L for loser on their forehead. Liberalism...never works, never has worked, never will work........
If the GOP doesn't run on their opposition to Obamacare they deserve to lose. If they do it will be a wipeout. Watch as panicky Dems try to distance themselves from 1800OTUS and Obamacare and for strident calls for delay, reform, carve outs and so on. Problem is, the only carve outs they will entertain will be for those that will vote for them anyway.
