Who wins VA-HD57?

[Senator Incitatus]

Isn't there some chance that Gibson just drops out? I would assume the attention alone would be a burden.

Good point. Katie Hill dropped out for a reason. Women are less likely to ride out (lol) a sex scandal.

Although this is different since she was willing to post these videos for money.

[Duke of York]

why is this a scandal?

Katie Hill resigned because what she did was unethical, having inappropriate relationships with staff. Nothing that Gibson did was unethical. Unfortunately for her, Henrico boomers might not take this lightly.

Wasn't there a literal prostitute in the Nevada state legislature in the recent past?

What do you think the chances of a Democratic House and a Republican Senate are? It seems like you are entertaining that possibility a lot.

[Ferguson97]

Gibson. This is going to backfire badly on the Republicans.

I was, but the fundraising reports do suggest Dems have it together better than I thought when it comes to knowing which way the wind is blowing in different parts of the state.  They are IMO correctly keying in on the narrow Youngkin Williamsburg seat (SD-24) as being more winnable than the narrow Youngkin outer Loudoun seat (SD-31) and also aren't taking the narrow McAuliffe seat in Richmond with the somewhat pro-choice female OBGYN incumbent for granted.  It's starting to look more like a clear 21D/19R to me.

Also, in the HoD, this scandal potentially cancels out the double digit Biden seat R secretly endorsing a total abortion ban, meaning Dems have to find a pickup somewhere else.  Could see anything between 52R/48D and 55D/45R as there are a ton of significant Biden margin/significant Youngkin margin seats.

I don’t really see how it would backfire. Posting videos of yourself having sex isn’t illegal, but the indulgence of an exhibitionist fetish is definitely distasteful to most Southern suburbanites. It’s not like she’s being attacked for having an abortion or having premarital sex. Posting on a cam website is not something most people empathize with or relate to.

Don't believe so, what you're probably referring to is that a brothel owner won the Republican nomination for a seat in a Safe R seat and seemed thus a certainty to get in but he died before the election.

Normal people are just going to view it as mean-spirited, gutter politics, and invasive of her private life .

[walleye26]

I honestly don’t see what the issue is. I don’t get why people think it’s a big deal. So she and her husband posted sex videos online? What does that have to do with somebody’s ability to enact good tax policy or vote for infrastructure? It doesn’t. I would vote for a porn star if they were smart and had ideas that I agreed with.

I also don’t understand why she got so defensive. If you posted these (from my understanding on a public site) why would you be surprised that people found them. Own it and say “yeah, so?”

She may have exposed herself in front of 3rd parties and included them in this sort of film without their consent.  That's the story here, not what she did with her husband.  It's apparent that she at least offered to do that for a client on one occasion.  Whether or not she actually carried it out needs to be verified and if so, she should drop out.

Very likely Owen. The typical-mind fallacy is very strong with certain posters in this thread.

That would make more sense. If she did include other parties without consent that’s obviously a problem.
