of course, the parties have flip-flopped but none the less, racism has driven runoffs since they started.

If we had them in Va, Warner and McCauliffe would have both lost. The republicans in the state legislature here are so against spending money that they have cut off their own nose in spite of their face. MacAuliffe might not since Gillespie would have beaten Warner in a run off. Soros funds this guy Sarvis from northern Va and he gets about 7-8 % of the vote every election.
