[President Punxsutawney Phil]

If this is repeated in another poll, I'm willing to rate this a Tossup.

It seems we have a very late polling swing.
Tossup race. We'll see the results on November 2.

How much of the registered voters have voted yet? %-wise
I'd be especially interested to see know what this metric is in NoVA.

Told you McAuliffe was more vulnerable than Tester. It’s not too late to send Tester to the Boonies and get rural losses down to 2014 levels, but the McAuliffe campaign doesn’t know what it’s doing, so...

Almost heaven, Youngkin-ginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the NoVa, that's growin' like a breeze

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
Youngkin-ginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

This is sickening. It seems that their astroturfed culture wars are paying off.

Yep, which would be pretty damn disappointing since VA has a lot of college-educated, rational, intelligent people who seem like they wouldn't fall for these tactics.

Somehow GOP has turned crazy lunatics showing up at school board meetings into heroes. Total insanity.

College educated-voters are, at best, barely less likely to hold stupid/extreme/whoever you put it stances (though the specifics vary wildly) on political issues, all while being probably harder to deprogram, because they have a diploma and that makes many of them think they are actually smarter politically.

High levels of education would make someone more likely to rationally hold the belief that they are smarter than their child's teacher.

I meant smarter when it comes to politics.
