I live in the People’s Republic of Northern Virginia and go out every day door to door campaigning for Glenn Youngkin and the R ticket.
The school, crime, tax issues he giving him the most traction. Handling covid and spending more on government is what the left types I’ve talked to think Terry would do best. A few have brought up Biden or negatively Trump, but very few. Not really that relevant to people’s day to day lives.
What’s more, Youngkin and the state R’s are spending a lot of money and time setting up to do whatever it takes to protect the integrity of the election. They are recruiting and training poll watchers for every single polling place, have set up a “see something say something” election fraud reporting system, and have recruited an army of lawyers to be hypervigilant and ready to aggressively address election fraud and irregularities. I’ve been to many campaign events and even talked with Youngkin himself about voter fraud. it’s top of mind for everybody involved.
Glenn Youngkin is a solid conservative and strong Christian man. It would be a blessing to have him as governor of Virginia. I think he is doing just about everything a candidate can do in a pretty liberal state to increase his chances of winning. Now it’s getting out the vote and policing voting fraud time.
Bump!
And big thanks for the first-hand info.
BurgessKoch, dude, where have you been for a fortnight? What’s the feel on the ground there? Can Youngkin’s Election Day +8 offset the 720K ballots 65-35 already in the box?
