VA-GOV 2017: It's a Wave (GE: Nov 7th - Thread #2)

[The Govanah Jake]

Vogel and Herring are done, though doing better then Gillespie.

[BudgieForce]

This is going to be the moral booster democrats desperately needed. It feels nice to win something big.

[136or142]

Northam is currently ahead in Charlottesville 88-11.

For reference, the PRC (People's Republic of Charlottesville) voted 79.7-13.2 Clinton last year.

Still praying that Republicans still somehow hold the HoD, but that's very unlikely. Ugh, the GOP really needs to get its people out to vote next year.

I'd take a People's Republic of anywhere over the Republican Party's Fourth Reich any day.

Vogel and Herring are done, though doing better then Gillespie.

I guess the lesson is not to run on white identity politics in Virginia. At least Vogel and Adams will put up a respectable showing.

The Next Republican running in a swing state or leaning dem state should just tie himself to Bush 24/7 and their policies are similar to Bush not Trump. Bush is popular now

...No.

Ha. Yes, do that. It would be glorious.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Expect Comstock to announce her resignation in a few weeks. She was definitely watching NOVA closely.

[Holmes]

CHESTERFIELD FLIPPED

[Shadows]

Another Our-Revolution endorsed candidate wins. 3 out of 4 have already won.

HoD 2 - Jennifer Foy 63%, Mike Makee 37%, 96% in

Only person trailing who has been endorsed by Our-Revolution -

HoD81 - Kimberly Tucker 42% with 59% reporting (& the GOP won 70% in 2017 & Trump won close to 60%, so this is a strong GOP one).

If all the leads hold firm, Dems could take the HoD 51-49 ! It is going to be close !

[The Govanah Jake]

Looks the the biggest Democratic night since 2012

[136or142]

Its time for the GOP establishment to give the crazies in their base a middle finger.


Since the crazies dont have the money to run a third party campaign the establishment should just run third party campaigns against crazies( the establishment does have the money to run a third party type campaign ).


Once they do they will have taken back the party from the crazies who then force the gop nominee to run to far too the right.

On virtually every issue, 'establishment' Republicans are every bit as extreme as the 'crazies.'  It's only their tone that is different.

Northam flips chesterfield by 3 votes with only 2 precincts left.

Damn.

Expect Comstock to announce her resignation in a few weeks. She was definitely watching NOVA closely.

She might as well run against Kaine. A long shot, but a way bigger potential prize. Her district is also more D than the state as a whole will be.

[Kamala]

All this winning is gonna give a new meaning to "champagne socialist/liberals"

[heatcharger]

HURST WINS!!! I'm really happy for him.

Ed Gillespie worked hard but did not embrace me or what I stand for. Don’t forget, Republicans won 4 out of 4 House seats, and with the economy doing record numbers, we will continue to win, even bigger than before!

LOL!!!

WULFRIC PROJECTION: DEMOCRATS WIN DISTRICT 42

42    62%Kathy Tran DEM.    38%Lolita Mancheno-Smoak REP.   63%

Count at Dem 44 Rep 42. Dems 6 wins away from majority, since Fairfax can break a tie.

Am I reading the map wrong or are the margins (relative to 2016) trending Republican in Alexandria and Richmond?

Except that's exactly what Gillespie did. And I guess Trump forgot he lost VA.
