Let's be honest: Virginia doesn't have any stellar candidates for governor this year. But that doesn't mean you get a free pass to sit out this election. It's a common misconception that state-level elections, unlike presidential or Congressional races, aren't all that important. That's just not true.
Ken Cuccinelli has a long history of standing up for the innocent--from his work with preventing sexual assault to protecting the preborn--and that is why the Spiders for Life are endorsing Ken Cuccinelli for governor.
The gubernatorial election in Virginia has been a notably nasty race, especially with regard to the personal views of the candidates on access to abortion and contraception. As young women living in Virginia who inhabit opposite ends of the political spectrum, we have found ourselves equally disgusted with the representation of "women's issues" on all sides.
From the time they are born, most people are told that it's their duty to vote. Instead of voting this Nov. 5, take the time you would have wasted voting and enjoy yourself. The most obvious reason to do so is that your vote doesn't matter. Whether you choose to vote will not decide this race or have any meaningful impact. The less obvious reason for not voting is that voting is almost always in and of itself an immoral act.
Next Tuesday, more than 17 million Americans, or 5 percent of the U.S. population, will have elections for their state governments. The elections in New Jersey and Virginia have gained outsized national attention over the years because of their unusual timing: These are the only two states to hold their elections the year after the presidential election. Thus political observers often watch them as referenda on the president, and reporters and pundits crashing from the buzz of the election flock to cover them. Money from across the country has funded thousands of hours of omnipresent campaign ads that seemed to start on New Year's Day.
Virginia's Libertarian candidate for governor, Robert Sarvis, called himself an alternative to the two traditional candidates for governor in a public forum on campus last week.

"I think that we did see some mud flicking, but not necessarily as much as we're seeing in PAC-funded ads on our television screens," Richmond Scholar Erik Lampmann said after attending the event he helped plan, Thursday's Sharp Viewpoint Speaker Series featuring Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe and Republican candidate and current Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli.
"I don't know anything about the candidates."
Patrick Love has been elected president of the Richmond College Student Government Association for the 2013-2014 academic year.
As students at the University of Richmond, we all know that this is a dynamic and changing place -- just as we learn and grow, so does our university evolve alongside us.
The night Mitt Romney picked Paul Ryan to be his running mate is etched into the memory of Tripp Wellde, a 2006 graduate of Richmond. Just off work after a round of campaign-strategy meetings in Chicago, he was just about to take his first sip of beer when his phone started buzzing.
Virginia liberals, a group that includes many Richmond students, had two victories to celebrate after last week's election. Not only did Barack Obama win a second term as president, but he also won Virginia, a state that was considered thoroughly Republican until four years ago.
As a Law School faculty member who has experience with both Gov. Kaine and Sherrie Harrington, I feel compelled to respond to the opinion column by Gray Delany.
They say character is defined by how you treat those who cannot do anything to help you. By this measure, in my experience with them, Tim Kaine and Sherrie Harrington exemplify those noble characters worthy of envy and praise.
The announcement that Barack Obama will serve a second term as U.S. president after beating challenger Mitt Romney warranted a mixed reaction from the University of Richmond community on Tuesday.
Virgil Goode, a 1969 Richmond College graduate, who is running for president as the Constitution Party nominee, may take support away from Mitt Romney here in Virginia.
Here we are. Election Day 2012. Tomorrow, you'll wake up and either wear a righteous smirk or a miserable frown to your 9 a.m. That's because by then, you'll know who won the Presidential Election --- hopefully.
Political science professors Ernest McGowen and Daniel Palazzolo led a forum to inform the campus community about the coming presidential election.
After his term ended as the 70th governor of Virginia, Tim Kaine continued his lifelong dedication to education as a professor at University of Richmond. Before graduating last May from Richmond Law, I had the privilege of having Gov. Kaine as a professor. Anyone who has had the privilege of meeting him can appreciate that he is a true public servant. As a new lawyer, I am inspired by his work early in his career as a civil rights attorney, especially his work representing plaintiffs in cases of housing discrimination.
