SF was the most shocking.

Didn’t think legal mj would be popular in OH.

KY and MS are fairly Republican these days, so no surprises there.

Glad the GOP held on to the VA legislature.

VA has trended strongly liberal in recent years.

Bevin’s victory was no sure thing. Look at this other story from the WaPo. The establishment did not support him just like Cuccinelli in VA last year but Bevin won anyway. This was a HUGE victory for the good guys.

“Matt Bevin, the Republican nominee in the Kentucky governor’s race, wasn’t a very good candidate. By all accounts, he was standoffish and ill at ease on the campaign trail, and inconsistent — to put it nicely — when it came to policy. The Republican Governors Association, frustrated with Bevin and his campaign, pulled its advertising from the state.”

The legal marijuana initiative in Ohio was really about the authors of the initiative trying to fool voters into giving them a monopoly of 10 farms with the exclusive rights to grow all of the marijuana. Only a fool would a voted for that. Even libtards didn’t like it.

Large numbers of gubmint employees in VA. They would tend to vote for big government supporters in the demonratic party.
That wouldn't mean they are all supporting liberal policies but protecting their own pockets. But in some cases with the left going so far off into the depths of outright evil...even they may find themselves voting the other way.

And we should welcome any awakening that is bestowed upon them. That said; some people just ain't worth reaching out to. We will leave them to BLM and Islamonazis and let them stew in their own juices.

“KY and MS are fairly Republican these days, so no surprises there.”

I read that Bevin is only the second Republican to be elected governor in Kentucky in almost 50 years. Plus, Kentucky’s new Lt. Gov. is a conservative black woman. So, I count these two wins as somewhat surprising.
