Election fraud will probably keep this job in the Dem camp.

VA is rife with massive vf.

I think Trump may have won the state in 2020 in a close election, but we’ll never know due to the fraud.

McAuliffe won in a landslide. Most popular governor ever.
(Thanks Dominion.)

SW Virginia has been solidly red for a long long time.

The big question is whether republicans can chew off a couple points in blue northern VA. It has been northern VA that has been swinging VA blue for more than 20 years.

In a normal election the republican would win—because I think that Youngkin will shave a couple points off McAuliffe’s totals in northern virginia., But the democrats control the election process. So its hard to say what will happen.

REVEALED: Virginia's Democratic Governor candidate Terry McAuliffe received $200,000 in donations from private equity billionaire Ron Burkle - who owns a plane known as the 'f*** jet'

“I traveled deep into SW Virginia this morning and saw only one McAwful sign.

His presence in SW Virginia is nil”

He doesn’t need that part of the state at all. SW VA is solidly Republican outside of the cesspool of Blacksburg; the brainwashed zombies at VA Tech may chant against Joe Biden now, but they sure as hell didn’t vote for Trump in 2020 (or ever) and a hefty percentage of them will vote for Mac Daddy this year.

Youngkin will win everything west of Charlottesville aside from the small cities like Roanoke, Blacksburg and Danville. What he hopefully can do is reclaim some ground in the marginal-or-worse areas in the Richmond suburbs and in the Tidewater area, places which were formerly quite nice like Henrico County and Virginia Beach that have become wastelands, demographically and politically, in the last couple of decades. Whether they (like NOVA) are simply too far gone now, we’ll find out soon.

“Did someone just throw Terry under the school bus?”

No. But if Terry loses, Kamala will be president before the midterms.

"Democrats have perfected election fraud."

Exactly, that's why they're acting as if elections don't matter, they'll win regardless.
Consider, for example, the California recall, their guy got stole more votes than he had before.
Sure, I hope we're wrong, we'll see...

Somebody needs to remind Virginians that McAuliffe is a carpetbagger. The voters of South Dakota kicked him out of the Senate in 2002.

SW Virginia is a Republican stronghold...except for Ralph Stanley, that is. A prominent son from that area, now deceased, who was a poster child for the Democrats.

“should Democrat and one-time Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe lose”

Not going to happen. They will keep counting until McAwful wins.

The 60 Minutes piece with former Secretary of Defense Gates was the first story to push BYEDONE out the door. I was really surprised that 60 Minutes would do put this interview on the air telling how incompetent BYEDONE really is.

Look for more to come showing his loss of mental faculties.
If Terry loses, BYEDONE goes BYE BYE.

I haven’t heard anything about his brother’s politics. Loved the Stanley Brother’s brand of mountain bluegrass.

OBozard is something like 1 for 19 in race endorsements. His batting average make Bob Uecer look like Ted Williams and Babe Ruth combined.

They were the first bluegrass band I ever saw when they played at my college in 1970.

The party’s heavy hitters, like former President Barack Obama, have rallied for McAuliffe

In the past, that hasn’t helped one bit.

————-

Exactly, in 2009, Obama, still basking in that weird cult-like nationwide adoration, campaigned for Creigh Deeds against Bob McDonnell… McDonnell won by 18%.
