Election Day | National Catholic Reporter

Election Day | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: It was not his actions on climate change that will likely cost Cuccinelli the election, but his heavy handed success in forcing the Board of Health to pass the same kind of abortion clinic restrictions recently overturned by a Federal judge in Texas as violating the undue burden test in Casey v. Planned Parenthood.  His actions were designed to start a court fight - but he is not a good enough lawyer to know that he would lose.  He did not exactly go to any Ivy League School, so I am not surprised.  The only way he can win is by voter suppression, which is being tried.

Christie will win NJ because he was what is called Moxie.  He might even win the GOP nomination for President, as he looks good in those states where the GOP does not usually win but where the party establishment is strong.  He does not have to win where the Republicans deliver electoral votes, since those jurisdictions will never elect a Democrat - at least not until demographics destroy the Party.  I am not sure he can stop the Clinton juggernaught, although after reading Game Change I am not sure that stopping it is not a bad idea.  I need to see each candidates tax plan before I decide how to vote (or whether to run myself).

As for the Alabama race, I could care less.  Either candidate is a bad choice for America and one of them will win the general election.
