VA-GOV 2017: Utter Panic and Doom (General election: Nov 7th)

[publicunofficial]

Perriello is too good for the spineless bureaucrats of NoVa. Sad!

Oh well, best wishes to Northam.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Virginia Democrats not ready to be uncucked, sadly.  Oh, well.  Perriello's young and I'm sure he'll run again somewhere.

[VPH]

What's with the massive variance between relatively similar counties? 76% Perriello in Giles but 31% Perriello in Buchanan? Mind you, Buchanan always churns out interesting results. For example, Hillary won it MASSIVELY versus Bernie.

This race was more national vs state interests, really. Northam and Tom P pretty close on most issues

[heatcharger]

It looks like Fairfax County is going to end up saving a Republican, Gillespie's lead is slightly increasing as it comes in.

[GlobeSoc]

What makes me much more concerned is how tight the GOP primary is.

Virginia Democrats not ready to be uncucked, sadly.  Oh, well.  Perriello's young and I'm sure he'll run again somewhere.

Yeah, I think that this particular primary is unique in that it didn't really burn any goodwill that Perriello may have generated. This isn't one where either side went all out, so I could see him going for a lower office and then returning once he's got a bigger constituency.

They're close now on most issues.  I'm praying that Northam doesn't cuck progressives out again when he's inaugurated next year.

Pretty much.

I voted for Perriello, but there isn't a real major difference between him and Northam.

[Deblano]

I do expect Gillespie and Vogel to get a boost once more precincts from NoVA come in.

Gillespie is not sweeping NoVA, Stewart is winning many precicents in Fairfax and he could win Loudon County.

[bilaps]

Wasserman says big reason for Northam easy win are AA voters

PW has yet to report and there's a LOT of rurals left

True, Gillespie is far from out of the woods, but the precincts yet to report in Fairfax should be favorable to him.

[Virginiá]

Doesn't a Vogel win in the Lt Gov GOP primary essentially guarantee Democrats hold that office? She was up to a lot of shady stuff in her race against Bryce, and iirc there is still a lawsuit on that. Seems ripe for dragging her down in a general election where the problems of the national GOP will be weighing her campaign down.

[YPestis25]

Washington Post calls it for Northam.

[Oryxslayer]

Uhh Loudoun just went from 90 precincts reporting to 48 on NYT.

[Hydera]

Pet theory: more "swing voters" voted for Northam because his last name is cooler.

Vogel and Bryce were going after each other with accusations. I don't believe Vogel is any worse off on this front than Bryce would be, though perhaps that's not saying much.

Virginia DoE has 93 of 94 precincts reporting out of Loudoun. Northam barely won it as I expected. Gillespie is nursing a 9 vote lead, which is very embarrassing for him.

[Devout Centrist]

Come on Corey!

[TheSaint250]

Hoping Gillespie wins this.

And larger Northam win than I thought.

[Kamala]

Gillespie's lead down to fewer than 3000 votes.

[VPH]

What's up with Buchanan!? Stewart won by less than 3%?
