Is it Third Time Lucky for Rivers or Calley’s time to shine?
The Republican race for the gubernatorial nomination in Virginia will conclude tonight and both potential candidates were sweeping the state in an attempt to lock up a few final votes in the race to replace current Governor Joel McKissock.
Former Lt. Governor Troy Rivers who lost out in 2009 to Rob Buchanan and 2013 to McKissock looks like he is the favourite at this late stage enjoying a small but stable lead over former Walken White House staffer Cliff Calley.
Rivers, who served as Lt. Governor to Casey Mitchell between 2001 and 2005 is very popular with fiscal conservatives and long been seen as a deficit hawk. He worked on President Walken’s deficit reduction task force and was a major critic of the Santos administration during their response to the economic crisis.
