IF YOUR PARENTS DON'T VOTE FOR TERRY THEN DRAW ON THE WALLS WITH CRAYONS

For a political press hopelessly addicted to speculation about the next big election, there are precious few data points to obsess over during the first year of a president’s term. New York City elects a mayor during this off-off-year, but it’s an election that’s typically too chaotic and too particular to really tell us much of anything about national trends. New Jersey elects a governor, but the Garden State has become so reliably blue that it hardly registers as a point of interest: Its days of electing gruff Republicans seem to be long gone. And so it must be periwinkle-hued Virginia and its gubernatorial election that serves as the all-important political bellwether upon which pundits and analysts project their notions.
CNN has noted that, should Democrat and one-time Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe lose to Republican Glen Youngkin, “Democrats would tip into full-on panic about next year’s midterms.” And while it was only two years ago that The New York Times marveled at Virginia’s rapid shift from red to “solid blue,” the paper of record is now warning of an enthusiasm gap that could spell trouble for Democrats in 2022: Without Donald Trump to kick around, McAuliffe was “straining to motivate the liberal voters in his increasingly blue state.”
Given the tight polls, Democrats have been white-knuckling the race for months now; over the past week the party’s heavy hitters, like former President Barack Obama, have rallied for McAuliffe. The race will certainly be important: It will provide key data about how Democrats are faring with suburban voters and people of color, to say nothing about whether the GOP’s embrace of “critical race theory” fearmongering might have salience beyond Twitter. Nevertheless, the race is being oversold as an electoral indicator.
Always a good sign!!
lol. New Republic is a lefty rag.
Electoral indicator or not, VA is currently suffering under a dictator want to be who would lock everyone down and force everyone to do whatever his fibred little mind could come up with. CRT and full term abortions would be just the beginning of his vile infamies. And the horror is that McAuliffe is worse, he is even more beholden to the Clinton crime family.
Did someone just throw Terry under the school bus?
If macawful loses Biden agenda toast. Dems will lose more than 50 in house
The nation’s education system has become a major factor in the Va gubernatorial election since McAauliffe has presidential ambitions.
It seems sexual assaults in schools were NOT REPORTED FOR FEAR OF HURTING MCAULIFFES POLITICAL AMBITIONS.
.....................................................
Democratic Va candidate Terry McAuliffe launched a “War on Parents””
<><> he emphatically said, “I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.”
<><> “I’m not going to let parents come into schools and actually remove books
<><> I’m not going to let parents make their own decisions about their children.
Black parents should be doubly concerned WRT McAuliffes declarations, since they feel deeply that educating their children is the key to gaining equity.
..............................................
McAuliffes voting blocs.......misfits, misanthropes, lieabeds, zeros, noncomps, drips and dropouts.
Damage control. Democrats already starting to rachet down the impact. They figure they will lose.
Pray without ceasing!
“Without Donald Trump to kick around,”
They have nothing else to promote.
Look at CNN headlines. Still Trump, everyday. Nothing about Biden.
Partisan Media Shill alert.
They are covering the guy they know was elected.
The Bag Man will “win”.
Democrats have perfected election fraud.
This race will show just how powerful the rat fraud machine has become. They were able to cheat Trump because most R’s were complicit. This race will show that they can effectively cheat without Republican help. In that regard this is an indicator of what is to come.
They are in panic when they start trying to do pre election spin. When they are the minority party this same election in VA is a “critical referendum on how the GOP is doing”.
Now when they are losing “Hey this election in VA is overblown”
Sounds like the left is now downplaying a race they were saying will be a bell weather for 2022 congressional races.
In the past, that hasn't helped one bit.
Stacy Abrams was delivering votes from the trunk of her car last weekend.
I traveled deep into SW Virginia this morning and saw only one McAwful sign.
His presence in SW Virginia is nil
