VA-GOV 2017: It's a Wave (GE: Nov 7th - Thread #2)

[Yank2133]

If Gillespie loses the race, I'm looking forward to some post-Ossoff-like handwringing from Republicans who got their hopes up.

And, I seem to remember an election 52 weeks ago today in which the Democratic candidate had had a bit of bad news which lead to the Republican candidate surging in the polls. Around the final weekend, the polls suggested that the Democratic candidate had stabilized her position with a small, but, significant and persistent lead. The Republican candidate won.

If Gillespie wins tomorrow, some folks are going to be howling at the moon a night early.

Bob, Virginia doesn't have an Electoral College....

The RCP polling average for Virginia, and Michigan was what again???

Uh, 5% Hillary lol plz wipe your butt

Is he insinuating Hillary underperformed in VA because she most certainly did not.

Given Tim Kaine was on the ticket, and, Trump pulled out of Virginia while Romney did not, Hillary Clinton underperformed in Virginia badly.

lmao, what a load of nonsense.

Against a normal Republican, she would have won by the same margin Obama did in 2012. She over performed if anything.  

[America's Sweetheart ❤/𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖞 𝖂𝖆𝖗𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖗]

I might end up looking like a fool tonight, but my final prediction is:

Northam 51.2%
Gillespie 45.5%

You can't keep on saying things that are not true as if they were true.

From Nate Cohn's twitter, the METER is back

[Jeppe]

Loudoun County (NOVA suburb): 10am check indicates 34,759 voters of 242,313 total reg voters. 14.34% turnout.

[Sir Mohamed]

So, Northam is expected to beneifit from high turnout? That would be a good sign. I hope he outperforms most polls and wins by more than five points.

[BudgieForce]

Would be funny if Quinnipiac is the most accurate pollster. Probably won't happen but...

Fairfax County is already at 35.6% of 2013 turnout.

They just tweeted that this does not include the early vote. If you add that it goes to 49.2% of the 203 vote by 10am this morning.

[Gass3268]

Loudoun County (NOVA suburb): 10am check indicates 34,759 voters of 242,313 total reg voters. 14.34% turnout.

38.8% of the total 2013 turnout (not sure if this includes early vote)

[Hindsight was 2020]

Considering Northam trouble was always going to be motivating the base the high turnout suggests he's in a good position

Opps, had "Virginia" on the mind for some reason. I was thinking of Wisconsin.

In any case, those who wish to quibble about the Electoral College vs. popular vote I would only note that the pundits claimed Hillary Clinton had a lock on the Electoral College:

Virginia on Clinton ticket, none on Obama ticket.

Trump pulled out of Virginia.

Romney did not.

Which is untrue?

I agree, but the guy seems to be connected based on some of the stuff on his twitter.
