Thought you meant Bobby Scott, please consider changing the title.

Republicans showing their true colors today, eh? Between this and the Pete Sessions comment, it's looking like some of these dudes want to lose.

Wow, just, wow. I was just joking about the Seppuku comment, but it seems I might have been right.

This is definitely a campaign damaging move. I knew he was on edge when he distanced himself from Corey Stewart by saying he named his son after a black man.

They are so insulated in their own bubble of Republican shamelessness that they forgot about how they might sound to other voters. It serves them right if they lose.

Forging signatures on candidate petitions is very serious. Hopefully there is a thorough investigation into the criminal conspiracy known as Scott Taylor for Congress.

It's obvious Taylor's going down when he's agitated on Twitter all the time and does garbage like this. He's scared of losing and trying to shore up his base.

Scott Taylor was only considered likely R due to his "moderate" image, and the fact he turns out the voters. Glad to see that he is weighing himself down, and that the Senate candidate Stewart will make this a D seat.

Elaine Luria has also struck me as one of the best challengers this cycle. I want to see a Monmouth poll of this seat and ME-02 soon. It’d be nice if we could get a Senate poll specifically for Va-02 as well. If Kaine is winning VA-02 by double digits or more, I think Luria wins.

Kaine is for sure winning VA 2nd by double digits lol. Northam won it by 4 or 5 and this is exactly the type of area where Kaine is going to grab even more votes to increase his statewide margin.

Man...it's possible Brat, Comstock, Taylor, AND Wittman could all go down this year along with Confederate Corey.

Nah. The gerrymander makes Wittman completely safe. In 2022 when Dems have the trifecta is when Wittman has an excellent chance of being placed on the chopping block.

1. It depends on the magnitude of Kaine's victory
2. Stranger things have happened. Doug Jones won (statewide!) in Alabama, and Lamb was able to pick up the (current) PA-18.

The last poll out for the Senate race was from Quinnipiac and had Kaine up by 18. If the race really went that way Stewart would still narrowly carry VA-1.
