Did gun control cost McAuliffe and Democrats the Virginia election?

1. Yes, and the controllers will sleep well tonight..

Because they will blame everything, and everyone but themselves for the loss..

Sturtevant’s victory margin in Powhatan also raised questions about whether a big gun-control advertising push for Gecker by a national group backed by former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg backfired by turning out gun-rights advocates at the polls. Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund spent $700,000 on advertising on behalf of Gecker.
“Amazing Powhatan turnout. Definitely Bloomberg backlash,” longtime Democratic political operative Paul Goldman said in a text message.

Interesting read from a Democratic operative...The Repukes should publicly thank Bloomberg for all the support he gave them. Also, in Virginia, 92% of NRA backed candidates won their election....
