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

[Kamala]

Rename the thread!

[heatcharger]

Carter (D) leads Miller (R) by 2500 votes with 3 precincts left. That one kinda shocks me.

[The Govanah Jake]

NoVa is sad for Gillespie. Underperforming badly

[Kamala]

from 538:

SETH MASKET 7:48 PM
Looking at the 14 counties/cities in Virginia with at least 70 percent of the vote counted, Northam is running an average of 7.6 points ahead of where Clinton performed last year.


so... maybe... Northam +13???

[Frodo]

Well, get used to it Republicans.  This is what you get when you make a deal with the devil.

What?! Republicans have won nearly every other special election since Trump took office.

Consider this the turning of the tide.  

[America's Sweetheart ❤/𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖞 𝖂𝖆𝖗𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖗]

Lmao, according to NYT, Gillespie winning at all is now outside of the realm of plausibility more or less.

[Suburbia]

Well, get used to it Republicans.  This is what you get when you make a deal with the devil.

It is a divided nation. Period.

NoVa is sad for Gillespie. Underperforming badly

He can take his resentful white identity politics and shove it up his lobbyist ass.

[cvparty]

where are you guys seeing northam having a huge lead? so confused rn

It's not that he CURRENTLY has a huge lead, it's that he has a lead at all pre-Fairfax vote dump.

ah thanks

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

NYT now projecting a 7.3 point win for Northam... double digits is quite possible.

[Rookie Yinzer]

Northam 2020?

Kamala's Vice President.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

If you're a Democrat right now, you've got to be bouncing off the freaking walls with excitement.

It looks like Northam will win the Virginia governorship in 2017.

Gillespie could run for a congressional seat or be a lobbyist or a businessman in the future.

Dude, Northam is only winning by 10K votes right now.  If that's not too close to call, then I don't know what is.

[Doimper]

Shame...


Why couldn't Hillary have won last November?

We'd be on our way to 60 senate seats and 40 governorships right now, a real realignment.

lol

[uti2]

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.

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.

Sad thing is, they are going to blame Ed for not being Trumpian enough.

How do you suppose Dems would forget to vote in a year with a GOP president?

It is a divided nation. Period.

Interestingly, that also works if you take out the period between "nation" and "Period".

Northam +6.4 on Upshot.

This is fantastic.

[Obama-Biden Democrat]

I hate to say I told you so but I wrote this one week ago:

Re: VA-Quinnipiac: Northam +17

Remember the combined Democratic v Republican primary totals? Democrats had a YUUGEE lead. Maybe this poll isn't far off, I think Northam will win by a minimum of 10 points.

[DrScholl]

Well, get used to it Republicans.  This is what you get when you make a deal with the devil.

What?! Republicans have won nearly every other special election since Trump took office.

They have held open seats, but haven't made any gains.

They were supposed to. Presidents don't appoint people from swing seats.

[OSR stands with Israel]

Gillespie should have just run a Bush type Republican general election campaign. VA is a Bush type GOP state not a Trump like  

[Kamala]

Northam +6.4 on Upshot.

This is fantastic.

He's +7.8 now!

Please tell me you're trolling...

[The Govanah Jake]
