They wouldn’t be sinking 2 million into VA unless their internals show it winnable.

He’s not losing in NC. That’s crazy.

FL i dont know enough about. I know a lot of Puerto Ricans have moved there since last election and the fraud’s already been detected and is being investigated. At least I THINK that’s FL.

Hooray! Coming back to visit three more times Can hardly wait! Virginia is NOT a blue state, it’s barely a light purple state (lavender? nah...) because of the 11 US House Districts, the GOP has what, 8 of them? The GOP has the majority of the House of Delegates and State Senate in Richmond. The Democrats who win statewide run as conservative Republicans Every.Darn.Time then govern as moderate to lib. Especially the current Attorney who is a disgrace on defending the state Constitution and his aiding and abetting the corrupt Democrats and their voter fraud.

There is always some GOPe sabotaging at the statewide level namely John Warner. Large independent voter group — the Ron Paul-types will NOT vote for Hillary. They will either stay home or vote third party.

Christians appalled by Trump’s boorish behavior are coming around as they realize their religious liberties are truly threatened under a Hillary administration. She may reign 4 years but her SCOTUS will rein 40.

Praying Virginia is our sweet surprise on the evening of November 8.

Only $2 million? That’s it? Trump should spend it in Florida or NC where he is being out spent 20 to 1.

That is because of Gerrymandering. At least the state legislature did one good thing in the last 10 years. The state GOP is feeble, unfortunately. Most of the liberal voters in Northern Va are clustered in one house district. 1 out of 4 votes originate in Northern Virginia, so those ads are very expensive in the DC market. Since it is only $2 million, I have to assume they are in the Richmond, Norfolk and Roanoke areas.

Wait a minute, what “Trump Virginia Office”? Trump was pulling out of Va shortly after firing Corey Stewart last week. That’s what the media here was shouting.

It’s all about turnout suppression now. That’s all they have left. Hillary has disappeared until the 3rd debate and let’s see if she even turns up for that. Don’t believe anything. Just go to the voting booth on 11/8.

Over the weekend, the Wall Street Journal Editorial Report on Fox said the same thing.

<< I have to assume they are in the Richmond, Norfolk and Roanoke areas. >>

Yes! When I attended the Trump rally in Roanoke, stood in line with locals who don’t believe their vote matters with so many liberals in Arlington and Fairfax. With much of that vote demoralized this time, we really need the red part of the state to show up and bring friends and family! Their votes really DO matter.

The 2014 Virginia Senate race between Gillespie v. Warner. Pollster do get it wrong by a lot, and with Trump probably on purpose.

"Deplorable Darren ‏@AltRightDarren

@mitchellvii Remember Gillespie lost by 0.8% in Virginia Senate Race in 2014. Look at the poll numbers - laughable!"

Interesting for you to report voters say that. It is disturbing, because it is so self defeating. The rule of thumb is that the republican must get 40% of the vote in Fairfax County for the republican to have a chance statewide. Cuccinelli just got 40% of the vote in Fairfax and lost by 10,000 votes statewide, so maybe you need a bit more than 40%. He would have made a really good governor, too.

I wonder how many people stayed home because they thought their vote wouldn't count. I think the Atty General race was decided by less than 1,000 votes.

I'm glad there are people in your part of the state who get it.

I think anecdotes are near worthless, but here goes anyway. Up here, I have seen 2 Hillary bumper stickers. I have purposely driven around neighborhoods to check out signs. No yard signs for Hillary...not a one. I have seen one Trump bumper sticker and no yard signs.

Obviously, in 2008 and 2012 there were quite a few Obama bumper stickers and yard signs.

Perhaps less democrats will turn out this year and it may, just may work to Trump's advantage.

I haven’t seen yard signs either in Fairfax County. Only a few roadside signs campaign volunteers have put up. One large Trump/Pence sign that was immediately defaced by tolerant liberals. I’m glad they’ve left it up for all to see what we’re dealing with.

Good Day Friends!

Tomorrow I’m taking the Poll Watcher Training in Burke, VA.

The Democrats are said to have filled their quota of of nearly 1000 poll watchers who will be working on Election Day. The Republicans at last count only have around 700.

We need to make sure the vote is conducted honestly and fairly.

We also need poll watchers who speak Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, or other languages to ensure that someone who is legal to vote, but has difficulty understanding the instructions is not denied their right to vote.

You will be paid $175 for your time as poll watcher, but it’s a long and hard day. (from 6 AM to as late at 9PM).

It’s a lot to ask, but please consider taking a day off from work to help out at the polls.

You must be trained before they will allow you to work and get paid. Scheduled classes are below.

Thank you!

-Bill HooFatt
