If Tim Kaine is selected as Hillary's VP and they win in November...

[Flake]

Perriello has a big fan base on here. Could someone please explain this?

2) During the 2010 race, unlike a lot of other Democrats in conservative districts, Perriello made no effort to distance himself from his voting record, and instead ran on conviction politics. Instead of distancing himself from Obama, he was one of the few who made campaign appearances with him. He is very much in the Sherrod Brown or Jon Tester mold, a progressive who is as liberal as they can be for the constituency they represent (Perriello had an A rating from the NRA during his one term in Congress, as an example of his concessions).

Yeah, Perriello would be the most high energy pick.

CONFIRMED TRUMP PLANT

[Mr. Morden]

Well,
I guess this will be a GOP pick up in 2018.

Isn't the special election in 2017, not 2018?

[Gass3268]

Democrats actually have a pretty good track record in Virginia's off year elections.  The only recent one we've lost is 2009.

The government shutdown in 2013 was helpful for the Democratic ticket.

And that the GOP nominated Cuccinelli instead of Bolling. They really need to revert back to a primary. Virginia has to be up there with Colorado as the worst-run state GOP's.

Isn't the special election in 2017, not 2018?

Yes, but for now I believe Republicans would be likelier to pick up this seat in 2018 than in 2017. In 2017, it's possible this seat is saved, not in 2018.

There's really no basis for assuming that, we don't even know who the candidates will be.

The basis is I dont believe Clinton would be too unpopular in 2017 to drag VA dems down, but in 2018 however.

Not every midterm will be a Republican wave and candidates matter.  At this point in 2004  the media was talking about a permanent Republican congressional majority and no one thought 2010 would be a huge Republican wave at this point in 2008.

Of course not every midterm will be a Republican wave, when they will regain the presidency in the future, it will be a democrat wave

Like how 2002 was a Democratic wave and 1998 was a Republican wave?

[heatcharger]

Like how 2002 was a Democratic wave and 1998 was a Republican wave?

1994, 2006, 2010, and pretty much 2014. That's 4 out of the last 6 midterms being waves, so it's fair to think there's a chance 2018 will be a wave. Though I think Republicans have maxed out in the House, and in terms of the Senate, yeah there are some seats they could pick off, but they will be very close, unlike a lot of the seats they picked up in 2010 and 2014.
