Interesting that the generic HOD lead for Democrats has almost always been larger then the Gov horse race.
Is it really though? Northam seems to be making abortion one of the main planks of his campaign when probably 10% of the electorate feels passionately about protecting all abortion rights. Sure NOVA may be a pro-choice area, but ask Mark Udall how making abortion one of your signature issues works out.
His focus on abortion is minor compared to Udall. Most Northam ads I see are on education lately
Funny, most I've seen have been about healthcare.
