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

[heatcharger]

I just want to reiterate how insane it is that Northam is making Chesterfield closer than Clinton did against Donald Trump.

[Yank2133]

If Ed loses, he needs to blame Corey Stewart, not Donald Trump.

The model for Republicans winning VA was laid out by McDonnell. Run as a boring, economic-centric candidate, and hope that D's forget to turn out.

Stewart may have screwed him by going ape**** on culture issues during the primary.

Prince William nearing half way reporting and 61% for Northam

If Northam wins by more than 7, I think we can see this as a rebuke of Trump.

[The Govanah Jake]

194,702 to 189,434 with Northam leading

[MAINEiac4434]

CONGRATULATIONS MR. GOVERNOR

[Bojack Horseman]

It's over. Northam wins.

What an excellent night for Democrats.

I wouldn’t call it just yet, but if I drank, I’d definitely be chilling the champagne right now.

Stewart may have screwed him by going ape**** on culture issues during the primary.

If this margin of victory is so large to the point that Northam winning never should have been questioned, Stewart should have won the primary so as to lose and to discourage that kind of campaigning.

[Hindsight was 2020]

Like holy sh*t guys a race in Virginia might be ready to be called for before 9

[Oryxslayer]

Lol McAulliffe and Cucinelli both on CNN

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Northam is overperforming in cities.

[Kingpoleon]

I would now project this for Northam. If Vogel holds a 2.5% lead at 30% in, I would call it for her.

[The Govanah Jake]

If Northam is still leading by 25% by this steady lead even when Appalachia fully comes in, i think we can say its mostly over for Gillespie

Congratulations I guess Doctor, now Governor Northam

[Brittain33]

Danica Roem would make me so very happy.

[henster]

Call before 8?

[MT Treasurer]

Hopefully this ends the "Republicans always outperform the polling average in VA" nonsense.

[IceSpear]

I would now project this for Northam. If Vogel holds a 2.5% lead at 30% in, I would call it for her.

Definitely not. Fairfax could easily save Fairfax.

[Holmes]

Northam ahead by 20% in Loundoun is wow.

Bye Comstock.

[Frodo]

The evening is still early, but I want to be the first to congratulate Ralph Northam on his likely victory tonight.  I was wrong about my prediction about Gillespie having a narrow win, and I'm glad I'm wrong.

It also looks like the full Democratic slate will win all statewide offices by the time all votes are counted, though by much narrower margins than Northam.  

[heatcharger]

F**k everyone who said Northam was a bad candidate.

[Pyro]

Congratulations Governor Northam.
Now rescind what you said about signing xenophobic legislation.
