Are Gillespie and Northam still the nominees? Or did Barbara Comstock/Tom Davis or Perriello win the primaries?
We’ll cover this more in-depth in today’s installment, but here’s the rub:
- Gillespie won his nomination with a lower percentage of the vote, but by a wider margin, due to the candidacy of a conservative State Senator who pulled about 17% of the vote, mostly from Stewart.
- Northam won the nomination by about four over Perriello.
So slightly less division in the R primary, but more in the D primary?
Also I hope the primary vote is at least even as Rs
should be more energized.
