VA-GOV 2017: Utter Panic and Doom (General election: Nov 7th)

[Türkisblau]

It will be a close Virginia Democratic primary. I wonder who Doug Wilder will endorse? His endorsement could prove critical in the Black and Latino community, including rural whites, who some of them voted for in 1989.

Perriello made a mistake with the 9/11 statement. It could hurt him with suburban voters near the Pentagon area and the military voters. Lt. Gov. Northam could win those voters in the primary, if some of them are registered Democratic.

However, if Bernie Sanders or Barack Obama, or Bill Clinton campaign in VA this fall, the Democrat could win. Perriello or Northam will tie Trump or Pence to the Va. GOP, and they will try to distance from Trump or Pence.

No one remembers Wilder and no one would care except Atlas if he endorsed.

1. I doubt people will care all that much about the 9/11 comment, and if it does hurt, it will be incredibly insignificant. For that comment to get attention, Northam would have to attack him on it, which is incredibly unlikely as neither politician nor the party wants this to be an ugly primary.

2. There is no party registration in VA. Learn the bare minimum about a state before posting, you goddamn idiot.

Um, Trump is president and the Democrat will win anyway? Sure, a couple national pols will campaign because they know that D's are likely to keep this seat and they want to be seen as helping the party even if they know that they aren't making much of a difference. A Democrat winning is not at all dependent on national figures helping them...
