McAuliffe doesn't represent much of a victory unless you look at the horror show Cooch would have represented to the women of VA.

The defeat of the man running for lieutenant governor, Jackson, was in double digits when I went to bed last night. It was a sweeter victory because Jackson was so religiously insane that even Cooch had started to back away from him.

This represents a couple of slaps in the face to extreme social conservatives in a state full of religious right institutions. For that, they're noteworthy victories.

Just don't expect a DLC Democrat to do much for the working person.
