Got a mailing from Kirk Cox (https://kirkcox.com/) seems he's running for Governor.......anyone have any insight on who else might be running and who might be the most viable candidate?
Several have declared, Amanda Chase is one. Of course, we'll end up with the most unelectable one.
Watch for a third party candidate to draw votes away from any Republicans.
It will be heavily but quietly financed by the Bloomberg/Soros axis.
Amanda Chase. So far, she has my vote.
She doesn't have a shot in hell. Kirk Cox so far is the most viable candidate declared so far. Amanda Chase would be a dream opponent for the Dems in VA. She cannot win a state like VA these days, VA of 1994 definitely. The best GOP politician in VA for governor would probably be Nick Freitas, he has relatively high profile in the state, articulate, strong debater, can energize the GOP base, and appeal to moderate voters in Loudoun, Fairfax, and Prince Williams county which is what needs to be done for any Republican to have a shot at winning the governor's office in Richmond.
So any word on if Freitas will be running? How about Ken Cuccinelli?

I don’t think there will be any traction for a third party candidate. I think the majority of VA conservatives know what is needed. I do think the Republican Party needs to stress the Constitution based platform as well as personal freedom. The Democrats need to be given room to fall on their socialist/totalitarian swords. It will be an interesting election year. fred55
Unfortunately, you can probably count on non-resident funding like Bloomberg/Soros to be involved.
