Gail Parker (VA-IG) will stay in race against Webb and Felix .... for now .....
This is the Independent Green Party (not to be confused with the Green Party of Nader fame) candidate for US Senate from Virginia.

Basically, she's not going to drop out. Instead, she says she'll endorse "the first candidate who debates her and wins the debate".

What the fuck does **that** mean????

All this from a live interview with Reeter Cosby on MSNBC at 1.55 PM EST.

I've never ever seen or heard this woman before. She seems juuuuuuuust a bit ...... off. To me, she appeared to be one of those well meaning people who hoard cats or dogs until they're in dire straights. In other words .... a nut. :shrug:

2. Never heard of her, is she actually a factor in the race?

6. She's currently polling at about 2%
In a race this tight, that could be the difference.

5. Nice try, Rita "Fluffer-throat" Cosby
She just introduced the independent candidate, Grace Parker, from Virginia and asked, "Are you here to say you're going to drop out of the race?"

"Uhm... no..."

Apparently, Rita misunderstood. Ms. Parker said she would endorse any candidate willing to debate her if she feels that candidate has won the debate.

Republickers aren't big on nuance.

Damn, I hate Rita Cosby.



Next time someone is interviewed by Rita, begin by asking, "Are we here to talk about you being laid-off by MS-NBC?"

8. Doesn't matter. It's to late to remove her name from the ballot anyways.
Even if she says she will drop out her name will appear on the ballot. Also she is an Independent Green candidate and not a Green candidate. She is pretty conservative except for her rail system proposal. Although from the polling data between 3:2 to 2:1 would choose Webb over Allen. Just GOTV and Webb will win.

9. It means she wants to be acknowledged as a serious candidate.
