Corey Stewart Running for Senate against Kaine

[JoshPA]

At least both Republicans (and Democrats) know not to underestimate him. I still don't think he'd be a good general election candidate statewide. Virginia is too educated and full of northern Transplants.

Hey could happy clinton fail to break 50 with kaine on the ticket.

I really tried my hardest to decipher this.

How about: "Hey, Hillary Clinton failed to break 50% with Kaine on the ticket" ...?
Hillary seemed to smile a lot, despite the fact that we have reason to know that she wasn't really happy during that awful election cycle.

Likely D. If Stewart doesn't galvanize conservatives enough, former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli could enter the race as well.


Virginia Rep. Barbara Comstock should run, but she is one of the most vulnerable House Republicans in 2018, just like how Missouri Rep. Ann Wagner's seat could be vulnerable, and Michigan Rep. Fred Upton's seat could be vulnerable.

However, the most electable Virginia Republicans could be Ed Gillespie, if he fails at the 2017 VA GOV, and Eric Cantor, despite his Beltway insider baggage.

I almost think running statewide could be easier than retaining her House seat.

Her district is rapidly trending Dem. She might hold on, but it'd be close.

For all my hopes that Democrats win big league in Clinton-GOP districts, I'm not ready to declare Comstock as favored to lose yet. Wexton is a quality opponent, but Comstock is a somewhat skilled retail politician, and she's made the right public moves regarding Trump and healthcare. VA-10 is a pure tossup in my mind and probably will be all the way to November 2018.

Also, Comstock won't run for Senate in 2018 not only because it would be such an uphill race in the GE, but I'm not sure she'd fare all that well in the GOP primary either.
