This is just more of the left's "turn the south blue" BS.

Out of state funding. The gay superpac is all over this. Anyone who doesn't like it is a homophobe. The usual stuff.

My congressman is a used car salesman (literally) with an R next to his name (Scott Rigell). I used to have a better congressman (Rob Wittman) until redistricting. Now we are part of Virginia Beach district and most of us are pretty pissed because Newport News and Virginia Beach are nowhere close culturally and regionally are usually at odds. For instance, the light rail train he wants to get pork money for in Virginia Beach has nothing to do with us and benefits us in no way. We don't even want it here, much less in Virginia Beach. Bottom line is he is just a crony capitalist just like McDonnell, McAuliffe, and the rest of them. We had much better representation from the 1st district.

Hell he even went back to finish college (Charlotte alum!) after hitting it big because he still wanted to be a teacher.

ummmkay....he qualifies as a legitimate force based on this

The fact that he's gay shouldn't even be a factor. The fact that it matters to you seems to be why you'd be called a homophobe.

What a crock. Why are most of today's teachers either homo or liberal?

I never said he was a good or qualified candidate, I just don'[t see how he is a self absorbed douche.

They are? Every person I personally know that is a teacher is a republican.

One of them is a homo though...

Yet if you used to be part of a white only group, you get disqualified. That damn white privilege...

Gay people are on the same level as white supremacists? How is that even a comparison?

I'll rephrase.

"The fact that he's __________ shouldn't even be a factor."

Why should anything be a factor? I'm not comparing white "supremecy" to being gay, BTW. Just pointing out that you can be anything but white and you don't think it matters. Just don't be white and belong to a white only club 40 or 50 years ago. No sir, nuh uh, because you are automatically disqualified.

It's just funny how YOU can have a problem with that, but people can't have a problem with him being gay, which is just another way to force homosexuality on the American people.

Because there's no room for racism in the modern US? Your example still makes it look like you're still comparing sexual orientation to things that most people consider to be bad.

Just for meter. With all these liberals saying how great he is in this thread lets just see some of his work.

It made me too uncomfortable. I had to stop watching. It sounded like white liberal millennial music.

I understand dixie it is a pretty disturbing video for non libs.

I wonder how many guys on this forum have that song on their Itunes playlist.

Getting competent challengers to run in hopeless races is obviously a challenge for D's and R's alike. Good for Aiken that he was willing to take this on. Early indications are that he can give the D's their best shot in this district. What a stark contrast to former (2003-13) North Carolina Congressman Brad Miller, who decided to go home rather than run here, after his own district was wiped out of existence. (In truth, Miller had wiped the district into existence back in 2001, when he was a member of the N.C. legislature and had the greatest influence of any individual member in determining how to draw the new lines that year. Live by the gerrymander, die by the gerrymander.)
