VA-Gov 2021: Herring for AG after submitting to resident political overlord T-MAC

Pierrelo could probably run and win in a split Dem primary against Herring and Fairfax

Hopefully he will.

The VA Dems need to declare war on Fairfax and play super hard ball. Like "blacklisting" anyone who accepts a job with his campaign or promising to back primary challengers against state legislators who endorse him. Make it clear if anyone supports that vile, sick f[inks]ing piece of sh!t in any way, shape or form, they are now an "unperson" who'll have no political future.

The issue is that he has significant support in the Black community. The VA Democratic Party doesn't want and cannot afford to alienate the Black community.

There are black candidates without sexual assault allegations.

Levar Stoney, for instance.

Damn. This field is really getting crowded which is dissapointing because I wanted Levar Stoney to get in. He could have real national talent.

2025.

Does he really think he could defeat Chase in a primary? He's got way too much baggage that can be attacked from the right...and the left if he gets that far.

what baggage?

I think it was also blackface. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

You may be thinking of the Virginia state senate GOP leader Tommy Norment. Norment never appeared in blackface but he was one of the editors of a racist college yearbook that had a lot of blackface and Klan attire in it.

As a white guy who went to JMU and Colonial Heights High School in the 70s, it's possible Cox has this stuff as well, but nothing's come out yet.

I don't like to give Republicans too much credit, but I'd have to imagine that he wouldn't be opening himself up to a run for Governor unless he was absolutely, positively certain without a shadow of a doubt that there isn't stuff like that on him that could potentially be uncovered.

Herring out, probably understands his lane is going to be occupied by TMac.

Perhaps 2025 will finally be his time

[brucejoel99]

Yeah, the gubernatorial 1-term limit is actually pretty great for bench-building.

Off-year elections, on the other hand, need to go the way of LA.

[brucejoel99]

Los Angeles.
