So am I, my neighborhood was “annexed” into Taylor’s district during the most recent redistricting in the Old Dominion. At times, he strays into GOP-E territory, but he’s a far better choice than Elaine Luria, the Democratic sock puppet who was recruited by Nancy Pelosi.
They picked Luria largely because she is a retired Navy officer, trying to match Taylor’s military record. Nice try, but no cigar. Taylor is a former Navy SEAL who was medically retired after being wounded in combat. Luria, as far as I can tell, did nothing exceptional during her 20 years in the Navy, but with the Democrats anti-military resume, they’re willing to take almost anyone who has pictures of themselves in a service dress uniform and a DD-214 with an honorable discharge.
With Taylor now holding a significant lead, it will be interesting to see if the Dims keep pouring money into the race. I’ll be watching the ad buys over the next three weeks in the Norfolk media market; currently, Luria is matching Taylor ad for ad, and may actually be airing more commercials than her opponent. If those begin to dip, we’ll know the Soros/Steyer money has been shifted elsewhere.
And for what it’s worth, the CNU poll tends to skew left (over-samples Democrats—what a surprise). So, Taylor’s lead may be closer to 9-10 points, versus seven. But no need for Republicans to get complacent; as someone else observed, it’s still within the Democrat margin of fraud.
