Virginia Mega Thread: The Youngkin Administration

[Non Swing Voter]

Without using the words.. he is rich... what exactly is making people think youngkin is such a great candidate and an unbeatable titan?

I have been saying this for weeks.  Youngkin is completely overrated.  All he brings to the table is money and an unlikable face.

Here's my jurisdiction map:

SAFE MCAULIFFE: Fairfax, Fairfax City, Prince William, Loudoun, Arlington, Manassas, Manassas Park, Alexandria, Fredericksburg, Harrisonburg, Albemarle, Charlottesville, Henrico, Richmond, Charles City, Petersburg, Williamsburg, Lexington, Roanoke City, Martinsville, Danville, Brunswick, Greensville, Emporia, Franklin City, Newport News, Hampton, Portsmouth, Norfolk

LIKELY MCAULIFFE: Winchester, Staunton, Northampton, Sussex, Suffolk

LEAN MCAULIFFE: Montgomery, Radford, Prince Edward, Surry

TOSSUP: Stafford, Lynchburg, James City, Chesterfield, Chesapeake, Virginia Beach

LEAN YOUNGKIN: Essex

LIKELY YOUNGKIN: Caroline, Spotsylvania, Westmoreland, Fluvanna, Waynesboro, Nelson, Lancaster, York

SAFE YOUNGKIN: The remaining counties and cities.

McAuliffe+6 statewide.

[Holmes]

This is my initial  jurisdiction prediction.

First off I will start with this:

I. WILL. NOT. TOLERATE. ANY. PREDICTION. THAT. HAS. MCAUFFLIE. CARRYING. VIRGINIA. BEACH. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He will not carry it.




I am unsure of Chesapeake city. Will be very close. Hopewell City could vote for Youngkin as well if the vote is heavily racially polarized. Stafford is not happening for  Democrats this November.

Chesterfield I am unsure of but think Youngkin has it but barely.

Virginia Beach will be like 53 to 46 Youngkin. Not a landslide but Democrats aren't winning it this year.

And to some clowns dismay... Democrats will win Loudoun.

This is awkward. My prediction right now has McAuliffe only carrying Virginia Beach and nothing else.

Okay, we are at 41 pages now. My goal is to hit 100 pages by end of election night. Let's do this!

Just not with maps that have Virginia Beach going Democratic.

If you continue rambling and asserting things without any evidence and telling us what ignorant PredictIt people think even when we didn’t ask for it, 100 pages should be really easy.

A bit off topic, but the statue of former Governor (and Senator) Harry F. Byrd, Sr. of 'Massive Resistance' infamy, and who helped build up the much vaunted 'Byrd Machine' that dominated Virginia politics for the better part of the 20th century (and defined the Jim Crow era in the state) has been removed from Richmond's Capitol Square:

Hillariously enough, the reason why the Byrd statue was removed is because some doofus GOP rep was like "how would you like it if we tried to cancel a Democrat" and the Democratic caucus was like yeah, okay, let's get rid of this racist's statue.

Poor little GOP’ers; they’re just always three steps behind.

It was literally ONE school board meeting in one town that's not really indicative of anything, especially in Loudon County, where Joe Biden won by 25%. This is just messy journalism

Also the county which is home to GOP DC organizers and lobbyists, which is why they get an outsized amount of coverage for a diversifying county now dominated by govt-adjacent liberals.

That is because they were put on the spot and as a result had to do damage control.

No, it’s because they’re consistent. Party ID doesn’t matter, actions do.

By this logic Democrats ought to target the Macomb County voters who drive to Oakland County to shop at the county's Whole Foods.

Trump is really trying his best to make sure McAuliffe wins this race lol.

Gillespie wasn't an outwardly crazy candidate, neither was Gade.

Why would I not be shocked if McAuliffe won by 11 after Trump visits and Dems go from 55-45 to 57-43 in the HoD.

[Progressive Pessimist]

Does Trump honestly think that "vote counters" led to his double-digit loss in Virginia in 2020? Probably, I've heard New Hampshire's votes even be put in the "stolen" category-a seven point loss apparently could have been overcome in his, and his followers', deluded mindset.

And all they had to do was not hold an actual primary.

[UWS]

Interesting. Former Democratic Governor Douglas Wilder, Virginia's first black Governor, blasting McAuliffe for reversing his criticism of current Gov. Ralph Northam and Attorney General Mark Herring, both Democrats who in 2019 were revealed to have worn blackface years ago at high school and college parties, respectively. In fact, McAuliffe called for Northam's resignation and now he seeks the continuing support of Northam in addition of asking people to vote for Herring for AG.
