Not only did Northam win the Virginia race, he won by 9 points, a polling error more substantial than anything we saw in 2016. Gillespie, it turns out, actually won more votes than any previous statewide Republican candidate; he had enthusiasm at his back. Its just that Democrats had moreand they blew the doors off on Election Day. The whole spectacle was yet another blow to polling and to punditry, two industries sullied by Trumps victory in 2016.

Author posits that perhaps this years midterm elections will play out like the Virginia election last year. Gillespie was closing fast in the polls and many predicted hed win, but Northam killed it. Republicans turned out their voters just fine - it was the biggest turnout for them in a gov race EVER.....:but Dems brought tons of NEW voters to the polls. And it wasnt close.
Are we going to see something similar?

Between Boston and Northern Virginia, there is a Blue wave (with lots of aggrieved NE College Students and recent immigrants); and in a few other cities, but Trump is going to bring out record numbers in rural counties. - JMHO
PS - VA is a 'special case,' John Warner(R) hasn't supported a Republican in decades; and there's lots of Never Trumpers there.

Who knows?
GOP turning out a lot of voters doesn’t mean a win, I’ve been saying this on all the EV threads.
We have to wait and see.
To: snarkytart
Depends on whether Democrats show enthusiasm.
The small crowd Obama drew in FL today suggests it isnt there.
Name me a reason Democrats have to come out to vote.

Not a positive reason to vote. Hate doesnt bring out people for a candidate.
As Democrats are belatedly discovering.

No.
They have a huge early vote to surmount and little time to do it in.
The Big Mo is on the Republican side and they have Trump.

I wasn’t talking about Demz voters who actually turned out, but the Demz have become very skilled at stealing elections.

Ok well in many of these states you have Repub governors and Repub Secretaries of State.....
To: St. Louis Conservative
Sorry, but Gillespie had no enthusiasm behind him.
He was another milquetoast Bush League Republican that refused to side with the citizens and the rule of law until the end of the campaign.
He only got as many votes as he did because we are so sick of Democrat Governors.

It got me to early vote for McSally. I dislike Sinema more than I admire McSally. More than a few Bush the Elder, Romney and McCain voters here felt the same way when the alternative was Mr. Clinton or Obama.

The VA GOP is operated by undocumented Democrats in an R jersey, also known as Bush League Republicans.

I meant to suggest that two years may have been insufficient time for Team Trump to eliminate Demz election fraud.
We know Dorkbama and Creepy Joe encouraged fraudulent elections.
When the Demz get whooped, they will scream, “invalid election!”
