GOP strife in Virginia may hinder party's bid for White House in 2016

(c) 2015, The Washington Post.

Feuding within Virginia's state GOP is alarming prominent national Republicans who think the infighting in a crucial swing state threatens the party's quest to recapture the White House in 2016.

The rift pits centrist conservatives against tea party and Libertarian activists, and it is playing out in divisive primaries and causing wrangling for control of the party's state organization.

A bitter source of the conflict one almost certain to ignite renewed debate as 2016 approaches is whether the state GOP will select a presidential candidate in a primary or at a convention, a process likely to influence whether the winner is a centrist or a right-wing Republican.

Virginia's GOP has not won a statewide race in six years, a streak that Republicans partly attribute to the infighting. The conflict flared in full public view last year during a rancorous Republican primary in which a largely unknown tea party activist, Dave Brat, vanquished then-House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.

A united party, strategists say, is required to build a broad network of support, enlist a squadron of campaign workers and raise the necessary funds to compete in a state in which Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe presides.

A statewide primary, with its higher voter turnout and prolonged exposure, is an opportunity for the eventual nominee to begin building a Virginia campaign organization. The conservative coalition that controls the party, however, is considering a convention, thinking that the activists it would draw would energize the GOP.

"If the party is split 10 ways until Sunday, it's going to be exceedingly difficult for the Republican nominee to come in and organize," said Chris LaCivita, a Republican strategist in Virginia who is advising Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on a possible presidential run.

"It's absolutely vital that the party unify sooner rather than later," LaCivita said. "The more time Republicans spend fighting themselves not Democrats is time lost that we can't get back."

Kevin Madden, a Republican strategist who was an adviser to Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign, said the GOP has "little room for error" in a "crucial" state such as Virginia.

Generations of villagers filled the hall at Saxlingham Nethergate Primary, south of Norwich, for Fridays tribute to Chris Gibson, who has been at the school for 18 years, and headteacher since 2001.

Mrs Gibson, who teaches the infant class in the 49-pupil primary, had previous worked at schools across the country.

She said: Compared to everywhere I have worked, with the small number of pupils you can do everything as a whole school, so its very much a family atmosphere. The older children always play with the younger ones. They are happy children here.

The school has achieved top exam results, which Mrs Gibson attributed to the individual attention each child receives, her knowing them all well, and the knowledge of what works she had built up over her career.

She told parents: I have enjoyed every minute I have had at this school. I shall miss it.

Ella Slater, chairman of the Friends of Saxlingham School, lives in Tacolneston, but chose to send her twin boys to the school.
