Gillespie can't win those numbers in DC suburbs.
he can't win 27% ? seriously?
*can't win with those
The regional numbers are a bit strange. Literally the only region Gillespie is winning is SW Va., but he's still within 5? SW Va. is a huge area (I just drove through it), but it's not that dominant in state politics. No region of Virginia has the ability to deliver the state all by itself.
I would say that was more Corey Stewart crushing expectations. If Stewart had won the nomination, he would probably be doing just as well. Any losses in NoVa. among the establishment GOP crowd would be made up with working class whites and a bigger margin in SW.
