Virginia Mega Thread: The Youngkin Administration

[BoiseBoy]

Yeah, Youngkin is going to lose by mid to high single digits. I thought it would be around a 4-5 point loss but he is not doing ANYTHING right, and we are less than two months away from the election.

Is this election really as close as it's "cracked out" to be?

MSM is now making this like a horserace election, but my question would be why unless DEM TO sinks dramatically or massive swings in the Deep DEM 'Burbs of Metro DC, and lesser extent Richmond, plus major shifts in Tidewater.

Ideas Atlas Hive?

I really don't think it'll be particularly close. Neither candidate is running a good campaign, but Youngkin is by far a worse fit for VA (especially the VA of modern times) than TMac. I'm sticking with a D+5 to D+6 win.

GOP internals, as reported in a fairly GOP-leaning publication, says GOP is favored to do well in the election, where most actual metrics suggest otherwise.

Roger stone says youngkin is leading in internal polling

Roger Stone is an idiot, and since when have internal polls from a losing candidate been trustworthy?

Yes. This is really the world we live in.

The entire 2021 Virginia cycle has been just embarrassing. I feel bad for people that are exposed to this.

Giuliani just posted cringe. Youngkin is going to loose voter.

A Trump rally in NOVA is the OPPOSITE of what Youngkin needs. We are six days away. He needs to not tie himself to someone so despised if he wants to keep the margins respectable there.

There will be no rally, Trump will be in Georgia on the 30th and 31st, it is simply logistically impossible. "Soon" does not mean immediately.

Trump being mentioned up there is still no favor to Youngkin. He will just drive more turnout, from Democrats.

What sites will have interactive county results w/o paywall?

I'm going to look at NBC, NYT, and Politico.

[BoiseBoy]

Well I must say I was not expecting it to get this bad for Democrats. Congratulations Governor Youngkin, Lt. Governor Sears and Attorney General Miyares.

Closest district was VA-10.
