Why Democrats just LOVE petition candidate Tom Ervin.

| Terry McAuliffe, right, was highly unpopular as a Democrat Party kingpin. He was linked to dubious financial deals, but a no-chance third-party candidate gave McAuliffe the Va. governor's office |
“Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe called
S.C. Democratic Party donors and supporters (Aug. 14)” said The
State newspaper Sunday.
The State said: “The (wealthy
Democrat) donors were thrilled to chat with McAuliffe about his race,
which changed the Virginia governor’s mansion to Democratic blue
from Republican red, said S.C. Democratic Party spokesperson Kristin
Sosanie.”
Question: How did McAuliffe win in 2013, when
the Democrat brand has been seriously damaged by horrible Democrat
leadership on a national level?
Answer: Third-party candidate.
In the 2013 Virginia governor's race
three candidates were on the ballot for Governor: Republican Ken
Cuccinelli, Democrat Terry McAuliffe; and Libertarian Robert Sarvis,
a rich trial lawyer and Google software developer.
McAuliffe got less than 48 percent of
the vote. Only about 55,000 votes separated him and Cuccinelli. But
Sarvis, the self-financed third-party candidate took 146,084 votes.
Sarvis pulled 6.5 percent of the electorate.
Sarvis billed himself as Conservative
on school choice, guns and right-to-work. In South Carolina, petition
candidate Tom Ervin calls himself a Conservative and a Republican.
But the wealthy, self-funded trial lawyer laces his candidacy with
many Democrat themes. On government sanctioning of homosexual
marriage, Ervin is left of Sheheen.
South Carolina, if voters fall for
Ervin, could end up like Virginia. But of course The Palmetto State
is not as dependent on federal government jobs as Virginia. And we
have an incumbent who has shown a rejection for Obama policies. If
nothing else, Gov. Nikki Haley has kept the state afloat to some
degree, while many state are sinking under Obama's poor management
economy.
