Virginia, change the Thread Title to "VA-Gov 2017: Glorious D Wave" please

They've just called it for Northam.

[InheritTheWind]

Absolute carnage for the GOP downballot in NoVa. RIP Barbara Comstock's career.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

This race is proving just how poisonous Trump is to the Republican party. Might discourage a lot of 2018 candidates do push him away.

[100% pro-life no matter what]

This entire election night sucks.  If 2018 goes this same way, we should call for Trump to step down.  I can't see it this bad under Pence.

[Oryxslayer]

CNN cals it.

[cvparty]

nytimes just called oop

[Heisenberg]

Tucker just called it for Northam on FOX. And ugh at Kreiseman winning, Baker was a great mayor, did his job, and put politics out of the office while all Kreiseman did (other than ruin the sewage system) was make the race about Trump and not local issues.

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

I thought I was going to have to wait until I could wake up before I knew who won.

[Kamala]

Gillespie wins Caroline county by 10 votes.

[TheSaint250]

Trump is the Republican Party's Obama.

2018 will tell this really. Though up to this point Republicans have won most of the special elections so i wouldn't say he is really that bad for the party until we see some major losses in say a major election year like 2018.

However, Democrats did win specials in 2009, iirc. However, if the enthusiasm shown tonight continues, then 2018 might be an even larger wave than before.

It's not an enthusiasm gap that is causing this.  It's a disgust with the 'governing' party.

Yeah, they both tie in together

Does this mean we can take down all the Confederate statues, now?

Lets just wait and see. I think Trump will do a little better then Obama in his own party's success but this night is definitely a big loss for Trump.

We at least got major legislations with Obama. GOP isn't going to get anything out of this partnership with Trump.

AP/NYT calls race for Northam

[fluffypanther19]

Northam beat that *ss

[The Other Castro]

These House of Delegates races are insane!

[Holmes]

Bad night for Virginia Republicans.

Down 20 in Loundoun.

Losing Virginia Beach.

Only up 0.4% in Chesterfield.

HoD majority in danger.

[MAINEiac4434]

Herring about to overtake Adams.

[The Govanah Jake]

Fairfax is leading now.

Now you know how Dems felt in 2010/2014 when everyone voted against Obama without any regard for candidate quality.

[136or142]

 I just got up to see the results coming in and it's already over?  WTF?  What time do the polls close in Virginia?

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Weird that Fairfax's margin in Albemarle is about 7 points larger than Northam's.

I'm not seeing anything like that.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Terry McAuliffe remains the only time the President's party won since 1973.

[The Govanah Jake]

Looks like Democrats will win all three while making good gains in the HOD
