Cook political report says: "VA: early vote is at only 36% of '12 total in Newport News, 37% in Norfolk, 37% in Petersburg, 28% in Portsmouth. Low AA enthusiasm."

AA = African American.

I would like to know what PIAPS means. I assume it is “___ in a pants suit.”

you can be sure that Rats will not nominate a white person for president next time around.

If Trump wins, I'm thinking somehow Michelle will be the nominee. She will run fly mayor of Chicago or Senate somewhere & then President.

That’s ALL absentee ballots.

I think the “returned in person” ones, 140,000, are the ones at issue.

Trump should take VA with high turnout in the western and southern parts of the state.

NOVA not turning out in the numbers Hillary needs to win.

Native son Tim Kaine not helping Democratic ticket.

Pooping.

Just easier to say Depends instead of PIAPS . . .

Black areas - they turned out heavily for Obama and helped him carry VA twice.

Hillary isn’t getting anywhere near the turnout numbers Obama got.

Deep dark blue. Romney got zero votes in a lot of those districts.

I live in the Richmond area. There are limited ways that you can vote early in Virginia, there has to be a designated reason, such as you are not in town for business, or are out of state on election day for some other valid reason.

The areas that Cook cites are heavily Democrat areas. Petersburg is almost completely AA, and Norfolk and Newport News have heavy African-American populations.

If Hillary cannot reassemble the Obama coalition of high minority and youth turnout, she is vulnerable in Virginia. Southwest Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley will be strong for Trump.

Nearly all AA.

Hillary needs an Obama-like performance to carry VA.

Low D enthusiasm isn’t what she needs.

Well it appears low turn out in early voting in these areas does not bode well for Clinton. That’s a positive for sure.

Don't get too excited. Early voting in Virginia is not typical. As someone noted above, voters have to give an excuse. Most people vote on election day here in Virginia.

If the number of early voters quoted above is significantly higher that usual, I'm not sure what they means. With Clinton's big buddy McAuliffe as our governor, I remain worried. He is doing everything he can to boost Hillary's numbers.

Doesn’t look like it will happen.

If she can’t get D +6 everyone is talking about - and VA is the next domino to fall, where can she win?

No, everything farther away from DC in VA is not necessarily very strong GOP. You have Norfolk, Richmond, Charlottesville and other towns and cities that tend to be liberal/Dem towns .... heavily minority and college towns, mostly.

People aren’t exactly excited by her and there is a limit to what McAwful can do.

People are just not into her. And Kaine reminds every one of the creepy clown.

If Virginia goes, it is over. I already have OH, FL, and NC in the Trump column already. VA would put Trump over the top.

Question is will Millenials and Blacks do for Hillary what they did for Obama?

That’s a question her campaign needs to answer to have a chance of beating Trump.

Right - I should have said rural and Appalachian VA.

No way Hillary gets the same level of support from minorities and young voters that Obama did. I voted in the City of Richmond in 2008 and 2012, and the lines were so long (with huge minority and youth) that it took me two hours to vote.
