Virginia Governor's Race 2013 -Who's Gonna Win?

Mcauliffe, the lesser evil

I feel the lieutenant governor race will be funny .

"Northam, a pediatric neurologist, has spent six years in the Senate, and he won primary endorsements from key Democratic interest groups, including Planned Parenthood and the Virginia Education Association." from the Washington Post
I don't think he's a DINO.

If you ever become inches away from jumping to the other side, you are a DINO. I'm not being your average Daily Kos-worshipping true leftist bitching about how we should primary Rahall or Matheson or McIntyre for not being liberal enough: if Virginia's Senate Democrats didn't see the plans on Twitter, their lieutenant gubernatorial candidate would be a Republican right now. Quite literally, Northam is a Democrat in Name Only, and should have been rewarded with losing his job in 2010, and certainly not with a f***ing promotion.

If you don't think Northam's a DINO, then please tell me what classifies one in your mind, because I'm dying to know.

Oh my god, yes, Aneesh Chopra would have been a better candidate,...

Honestly, cuccinelli literally scares me, he can win...

Jackson's hit of the week: government progams have been more detrimental to blacks than slavery.

So, we will win the Lieutenant Governor race?

[windjammer]

Is it too late for the Democrats to replace McAuliffe with, you know, a Democrat?

McAuliffe supports far-right "right-to-work" laws.

My god... Workers will have to wait...

[windjammer]

And fortunately, Mcauliffe and Cuccinelli will be term limited.

Honestly, I continue to think it will be cuccinelli. People don't break a trend so easily...

[windjammer]

There are rumors that Bolling will endorse and do a commercial for McAuliffe.

Wouldn't that just be the icing on the cake?

Anyway, Bolling 2017!

Bill Bolling is more conservative than Cuccinelli, at least he was

Some people can make political comeback .

[windjammer]

If the Pubs continue to nominate an arch conservative republican in a purple state becoming blue, you can be sure the VA GOP won't be reborn.

[windjammer]

Good news!

[windjammer]

Will the democrats gain the lower house if the margin is big?

[windjammer]

At least, I hope the Pubs will lose their supermajority!

Well, I guess it was done before redistricting. But Northam's district seems to be more a "toss up district" than a "lean rep district". Tilt rep maybe.

It has a good Dem lean to it after redistricting.  Obama and Kaine both got about 58% and even the statewide Dem candidates who were getting their brains beaten in statewide in 2009 came close to winning here (the lt. Gov candidate actually won it while losing statewide by 14 points).

Have you the new PVI for the virginia state senate please?

[windjammer]

Thank you!

Rasmussen is a big outlier it seems, because Quinnipiac has it D+7 today.

"It's not over yet..."

I agree with Phil. Cooch litterally scares me, I think he could do an upset... (Though Mcauliffe is favored).

"Yeah... it is"

...I was mocking my infamous comment from 2006, pal.

Wasn't here then, what was the context?

Then you really don't matter.

Santorum will win maybe?

If Herring wins however, Republicans can be theoretically considered strong favourites to pick up his senate seat; the Democratic elected base here is virtually non-existant and the GOP has some top-class candidates like Tom Rust who could run (especially if Rust loses his district, which is incidentally the bluest district within Herring's seat at around 60% Obama).

Herring's district is  D+6.

Yes and that's a very over simplistic line to follow. Have you basically ignored what I just said?

Oooops sorry!
