    I’m sure little Pauly will make the obligatory stopo while in Lynchburg to genuflect at the feet of the Falwells and collect a little of that Moral Majority (or whatever its called these days) money.

    Virginia for Romney!!! Tell a neighbor! Get someone to vote for Romney!

    I’m glad Virginia has more than two choices this year.

    Attack, Dave, Attack….thats all you`ve got….wouldn`t it be nice if your ilk had a candidate that had some acheivements so you could boast, rather than attack ??….Smell the desperation..putrid!

    Lynchburg the city of LU. That stands for Liberals unwelcome not Liberty University

    Belle: Only Obama or Romney will win. I think third parties need to win on the local level and state level before they transition to the national level. I would have no problem voting for Johnson, or Goode if they were running for things that they could win. Goode is only on 25 state ballots and Johnson on 47. I’m like you though I would like to see the powerful emergence of small political parties. Start winning consistent city councils and delegates, then win a statewide seat. I think the Independent Green party has the right idea, they are want more people to run for any office as IGs.

    If a third party candidate wins 10% in a Virginia statewide election, it becomes a major party. Therefore making it easier to access ballots.

    Jeff Doto complaining about anyone else’s “attacks” is like a ski resort complaining about a forecast of snow. It rings hollow.

    Yes, I am aware of the realistic statistics. I don’t believe in voting for the lesser of two evils. I vote for what I can live with. Voting for Romney is no different than voting for Obama. Romney will band aid problems, not fix them, all while spending and growing our government to the right, as opposed to Obama’s left.

    If Johnson (or the others) can manage to poll over 10%, then it is a major game-changer for the 2016 election. voting third party this election is an investment for 2016. It is sad that this is where our corrupt two party system has gotten us.

    Get 10% of the vote in the election, not poll 10%, is what I meant to say.
