Well, the election is over – so, we’ll soon be hearing, “Just wait ’till election day – we’ll vote the bums out!” again…

When will we ever learn?

Both my father and I also wished for a “none of the above” option on ballots. And if “none of the above” obtained more votes, then no one was elected and we would would have to repeat the election. Maybe if candidates and political parties started seeing “none of the above” with a majority of the votes, we would have more qualified candidates or candidates and parties would address the issues rather than just spouting more mumbo-jumbo.

Be careful what you wish for. 20 candidates are a distinct possibility in a parliamentary system with proportional representation, like Western Europe.

Although our constitution does not allow that form of governance, the distinct and highly partisan situation we have now seems to be failing us.

The Libertarian in this story is unnecessary, just like in real life.

I truly believe that election ballots should include a “none of the above” selection!

Sorry for the confusion.
I took my information from the VCDL blog, which I read on a regular basis.
At least both candidates have a long history of supprrting gun rights.

Thanks for the link Vivian. I had also read Deed’s position paper in this morning’s Pilot where he states his support for charter schools.
I do know he has voted against them at least twice, but that is going back a ways. He also opposed a bill (I think in 2004) which would have eased restrictions on parents who wish to homeschool their children. So for now I will still believe he does not support school choice. I know people can change thier minds on things, but I prefer to wait until they prove it rather than take their word for it.
(same goes for McDonnell)

VCDL does not endorse any candidates and is totally non-partisan. The surveys that are often quoted are a function of VCDL-PAC

He also opposes parents having a choice in which school their child will attend.

Except that's not quite true, as Deeds supports charter schools, just as McDonnell does. See here.

I think it would be wise for management to selectively enforce the rules to those that pose a problem and not just check every kids I.D.
Just a thought.
