Here are a few national and Virginia news headlines, political and otherwise, for Tuesday, Election Day, November 3. Also see Gov. McAuliffe on Hardball last night talking about guns
- The GOP’s deranged list of debate demands (Key words: “GOP” and “deranged”)
- Dear GOP: Hire me and I’ll give you the debate of your dreams
- Trump breaks from candidates’ effort to set debate terms (The Republican circus continues…)
- Republicans declare war on the media at their own peril (“Without moderators, who will they scapegoat?” Oh, they’ll find someone; that’s what Republicans do, other than playing victhim and whining and screwing things up.)
- NBC/WSJ Poll: Carson Surges Into Lead of National GOP Race (How extreme and crazy is today’s Republican Party? Ben Carson-level extreme and crazy.)
- Obama mocks GOP hopefuls for CNBC snit (“‘If you can’t handle those guys, I don’t think the Chinese and the Russians are going to be too worried about you,’ Obama added.”)
- Clinton’s Explanations on Benghazi Attacks Winning Over Voters — WSJ/NBC Poll
- TransCanada asks Obama to suspend review of Keystone XL pipeline (Hopefully this means “good bye and good riddance” for this idiotic pipeline. Now time to stop other idiotic pipelines, as well as the tar sands and other planet-killing fossil fuel development.)
- Ben Carson on Americans: “Many of Them Are Stupid.” (Perhaps the ones who support..Ben Carson?)
- They all fear real questions. Problem is, a gutless media isn’t asking them (“The Republicans wage war on a straw man: Our political debates are frozen, and so is our democracy”)
- The GOP primary jumped the shark: How Republicans’ debate freakout revealed them for the babies they are (“Is a debate not moderated by Sean Hannity a tool of the ‘liberal media’? If you live in the right-wing bubble it is”)
- GOP debate talks in disarray as consensus collapses (Have IU mentioned how much I’m enjoying this spectacle? LOL)
- Trump says he’s filed 15,000 signatures to qualify for Virginia’s primary ballot
- Voters to settle control of Virginia Senate (More accurate headline: “Small minority of Virginia voters, let alone of the Virginia adult population, to decide the small number of competitive State Senate races which are actually competitive.”)
- Our view: What to watch tonight (“… five of sixof the races that could determine who controls the state Senate — now held by Republicans 21-19 — might not be decided until after 10 p.m., if they’re really close.”)
- Va. elections for legislature, county boards and mayor drive voters to polls
- The Washington Post’s endorsements for Virginia (I’m definitely keeping an eye on this for my post-election “winners and losers” list.)
- Our picks for the General Assembly (A mixed bag here; for instance, there’s no excuse to vote for corrupt, Dominion puppet Frank Wagner.)
- Metro abandons plan to eliminate 5A bus to Dulles (Good!)
- Voter turnout key in race for 29th District state senate seat
- Severance guilty in three high-profile killings in Alexandria
- Forecast: 70s today, but region could hit 80 degrees on Friday
