Virginia still has attitudes of the "Old South"

George Allen, Jim Webb, both of those guys loved the Confederacy. Funny how 12 years goes by quickly. None of them would probably make it electorally in Virginia.

Warner/Kaine/Obama really changed Virginia's politics in two decades. Even John Kerry won Fairfax County for the first time since LBJ in 1964

How on Earth did no one find this until now? The VA GOP can't be that incompetent, or are they? But yeah...RIP Gov. Northam.

Obviously fake photo is obviously fake.
And if it isn't? Northam is doomed politically then. Also, democrats can kiss the legislature goodbye if this isn't fake.

And what if Seth Rich was really killed by ATF and DEA agents?

What if??

Congratulations Governor of Virginia Justin Fairfax.

I have since learned that this image comes from a what is basically a fake news outlet set up by Roy Moore. It's still possible that they just got lucky and were the first to find it, but I think it's a very real possibility that this is fake. I'm sure we'll find out soon.

I guess you win the prize for media literacy in this thread. Andrew Yang and SirWoodbury lose.
This aged well.

Today is a good day. I guess we should take the advice from the democrats and give our dear governor the same fate as Mr. Ertel of Florida.
Also, to those who tried to make a fool of me, who is laughing now?

Because yeah, people got half a yearbook page dedicated to them, especially in the early 80's.

Ralph Northam shouldn't resign. That would validate all right-wing fake news sites on every matter to eternity. This is preposterous. They wouldn't resign if this was found.

Remember folks:

Anything you do that is considered acceptable now is liable to become extremely unacceptable at any time in the future.  And with modern surveillance and the proliferation of social media, it will come back to bite you.

Other sources have found this page in the yearbook. Unfortunately it looks like this is real.

It's not that implausible.  EVMS is a small school.  How big was the 1984 graduating class?

If it wasn't an election year then it'd be fine he should apologize and move on 'I made a mistake 20 years bla bla blah' but he needs to go because he will drag Dems down this year. We are one election cycle from controlling everything in VA and Northam can't be allowed to stop us.

Maybe Northam's resignation will give the message (And my pleasure to laugh at him)

So if this is real, then pretty soon, people will say X fake news site reported this, so the next thing they report must be real too. If they had sources on one thing, then that validates everything they do! This is the world we live in.

He should obviously resign regardless.
