Virginia looking red
The latest Christopher Newport University poll looks good for the Republicans.
And look at the internals - 28% Republican and 28% Democratic. Probably an undercount of Republican support overall.
And on page nine, it's a matchup between George Allen and Tim Kaine. Allen leads this poll by two points after being down by two in October.
Rick Santorum may not be on the primary ballot, but he beats President Obama by four points in this poll.

More choices for us?
Will Virginians have more than two choices in the March Republican primary?
PJ Tatler thinks it's possible.

Fix it in the future
Smitty posts the letter from Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, saying it's too late to fix the primary ballot for 2012.
My intentions have never focused on which candidates would be benefited or harmed, rather I have focused on what is best for Virginia’s citizens, as hundreds of thousands of Virginians who should have been able to make their choices among the full field of presidential primary contenders have had their number of choices reduced significantly.
We'll be watching.

Thorough trashing
Virginia Right does a brilliant job examining the numbers behind the recent Public Policy Polling poll between Tim Kaine and George Allen.
You poll more Democrats, and the Democrat has a lead.
If you poll based on political reality, George Allen leads.
This poll called more Democrats than Republicans, which is not accurate at all and completely out of touch with the political landscape of Virginia. 30 more people in this Democrat skewed poll picked Kaine. The 5% “lead” is actually 30 people out of 600. This was done to give the left wing media the opportunity claim Kaine won the Associated Press debate.
The numbers have not moved. This race is dead even. Period.

David Karaffa, Eve of Election
"The People Have a Choice Here in Augusta. "
David Karaffa and his wife, Katie.
This Tuesday’s election has caught attention in the last week. Many things have been said by me, my opponent, the newspapers, blogs, and emails. Boiled down, the people of Beverley Manor, and three other districts, have a choice here in Augusta. Do we continue with what we have had for the last four years on the Board of Supervisors or do we change direction with new representation.
I am honored to have the endorsement of The News Virginian and of Jim Bailey, Republican Supervisor of the Beverley Manor District from 2001-2007. I have also had the privilege of multiple Volunteer Fire Fighters on my campaign along with Letters to The Editor in both newspapers supporting my bid for supervisor.
I am married to my beautiful wife Katie; we have two children, Grace and Hope. I have a degree in applied sciences from Blue Ridge Community College with a focus in nursing. I am a conservative, and I am running as an Independent for the Board of Supervisors. As an Independent, I am answerable to the people not constrained by party affiliation. I believe in small government, property rights, and government transparency, low taxes, and proper funding for education. I am pro-life and believe in our right to bear arms. If voters are confused about whom the Republican is in this race, it probably stems from the fact that my ideas and principles are directly in line with common sense conservatives. But I am more than that, I think outside the box. I don’t believe in voting as a block or gang, however I do believe in working together for common goals. I believe government has its place in our society and that the role of an elected Representative should be making sure core services are provided responsibly and efficiently, holding down growth of government, and shrinking its intrusion into our lives.
I have many ideas on how we can improve Augusta County. For example, I support immediately beginning a new property assessment and implementing a tax holiday for new small businesses in their first year. I have a proposal on how to lessen the burden of accounting for small business assets, incentives for volunteer fire fighters to increase their ranks, and changing the county budget to a zero based process. I am also in favor of staggering the elections of our Board of Supervisors here in Augusta.
This election is about new ideas and a new direction and an opportunity to put conservative values back on the Board of Supervisors. I ask you, the voter, to take the time between now and tomorrow to research the issues and make an informed decision before coming to the polls.
Thank you.
