big race to watch in VA
Republicans are running away in their races as we expected them to. It correlates with the last Gallup-Rasmussen projections. The national vote is going to be the same and the GOP WILL take over the House.
FYI, most places had this listed as a leans Dem district.
YES! KY-6 is an outlier. I expect the GOP to pick up most if all not all of the Blue Dog seats.
Boucher was a shoo-in. I still think he will win it.
A neighbor Boucher had helped with a Social Security problem got a personal call from himself today asking her to vote for him.
She did.
Looks like he’s going down anyway, the Dem blogger ‘NOT Larry Sabato’ called it for Griffith a few minutes ago.
28 years he has been in office. I have even voted for him a few times back in my younger days.
Griffith came on strong late in the race. I had him winning in an upset.
Payback (for voting for Obamacare) is a bitch.
It will be miracle if Rick Boucher loses.
I live just down the road from Bristol. Boucher is a sleazy liar who supported ‘his president’ right into the abortion of the Republic yet he pays for ads claiming he opposed. Yet his darn votes on bills are public record! In the interest of ‘being green’ Boucher supported Bidens idiotic remarks on closing cold powered electrical generation down regardless of miner jobs to be deep sixed in Southwestern Virginia. Yet he pays for ads saying he opposed his president’s cap and tax initiative. Democrats are bold liars; Boucher is one of the boldest.
I’ve only been up here a little over a year myself.
Another person I talked to said “Until he came along no one gave a d### about SW Virginia!”
She’s probably right.
Well. Griffith should be a good steward and the area is better off having a Rep. Frankly I expected the Reps to deny the district anything at all next term to drive the district to vote him out. That would have hurt.
