Arlington Democrats shoot for 3-to-1 victory margin to help Spanberger
ARL Now ^ | July 8, 2025 | Scott McCaffrey

Posted on 07/10/2025 5:22:58 PM PDT by T Ruth

For Arlington Democrats, the number to beat on Nov. 4 is 51,465.

That’s the difference between the number of votes cast in the county, in 2021, for Democrat Terry McAuliffe (73,013) over Republican Glenn Youngkin (21,548). McAuliffe lost that race, falling short by about 64,000 votes statewide.

This year, the Arlington County Democratic Committee has started working overtime to provide as many votes as possible for the party’s 2025 nominee for governor ....

“Everyone’s looking at us, and we have something to show,” said County Board Chair Takis Karantonis, speaking at the July 2 Democratic Committee meeting. “It’s here where we determine the fate of this commonwealth.”

Polls and pundits currently give an edge to Spanberger over Republican Winsome Earle-Sears. But many of those same forecasters saw McAuliffe as the likely victor at this stage in 2021.

***

County Republicans have fielded a slate that includes candidates for County Board and two of the three House of Delegates’ seats in Arlington. Republicans also may endorse in the School Board race, which has three contenders.

The county GOP typically faces challenges in recruiting candidates for General Assembly races. In 2021, however, the party did field contenders for all three seats.

While those Republican candidates lost by wide margins, some commentators deemed the effort a success in bringing out more voters to help the statewide ticket of Youngkin, Winsome Earle-Sears and Jason Miyares.

It is to be hoped that this year there will be fewer foreign invaders and fewer swamp creatures in Arlington, so that the Democrats come up short.

Which is why ICE needs to focus their efforts strategically so the fraudsters will come up short in critical elections from now on.

There is a large cemetery in Arlington; you may have heard of it. Many of those heroes will be reincarnated for a few hours on election day to assure that the Democrat will come up with a strong margin.

Two factors say No! 21% approval of rodents and Fractal which catches fake registrations in real time. Fractal won the swing states and will keep Virginia rodents from cheating.

Winsome, God bless her, is too conservative for VA - even half of republicans won’t support her. Last Governor threaded a needle, with education and parents rights as the swing issue. I don’t see a similar issue in VA this time around - JMHO

Spanberger will win easily. They need not worry. A Black female Republic candidate has zero chance, and the GOP was stupid for getting behind her.

Sears is a never trumper and a far weaker candidate than Youngkin. Also there is a portion of the VA GOP that won’t vote for her for other reasons as well. So she’s got an uphill battle it’s not impossible but I would better on New Jersey before I’d ever bet on Virginia going GOP this year

Sadly true.

Spanburger is the very epitome of a deep-state stooge (ex-CIA). I’m in Virginia 7th, she was my *gag* congressional rep. Adding insult to injury, she gave it over to that despicable POS Vindman, the notorious traitor who instigated DJTs first bogus inpeachment.

Since Virginia has no ID required to vote, the best strategy might be to have a heavy ICE presence around the polls on Election Day in the ‘rat stronghold of NoVa, Richmond, and Norfolk.

Sadly, I agree with you. Earle-Sears is too conservative for Va, despite having a compelling back story. Spanberger comes off to the uninformed as a centrist. i will be voting straight Republican ticket.

"Spanberger will win easily."

To the extent Spanberger will win easily is just further proof that Virginia is a Deep Blue state that temporarily turned Purple under Youngkin.

The Spanberger regime will rapidly transform Virginia in to a California-like Democrat super majority.

The voting by migrant invader scum was massive in the past two elections...
It will be even bigger this time as the Communist Party rallies the troops to hold make VA totally blue...

.....sadly, I agree....as a former 43-year resident of the Old Dominion before moving to Texas, it breaks my heart to see Virginia’s transformation from red to purple to blue...I do believe the Commonwealth’s next governor will be a Democrat....

Trump and the Republicans only hire idiots and backstabbers. And definitely yes men. They would take one look at me, or even YOU, the MIGHTY L, and laugh in our faces. They (Susie Wiles) would sooner hire John Brennan and James Clapper than listen to me, or even you.

Laura Loomer can't get a job or audience as official "vetter"--a job she asked for, even after exposing 2, 3, 4 deep staters working and undermining trump the genius in real time.

“Trump and the Republicans only hire idiots and backstabbers.”

Then you’re certain to get hired.

You seem to go out of your way to read my posts. How do you get it so wrong? Are you one of these old fat walshart scooter riding red hat wearing goobers who think ANY criticism of Trump means "liberal troll scum"? If by chance I was able to trick these goobers and get hired, I would be the only one loyal to him, genius. But more importantly, I would be more loyal to the nation.

I would also get fired for not being a suck up yes man. and I would also tell them, in meetings, where they are being stupid and typical morons. And of course, "F--- Nuthinyahoo."

Don’t flatter yourself.

“Are you one of these old fat walshart scooter riding red hat wearing goobers..”

That’s pretty much how I picture you, actually.

“who think ANY criticism of Trump means “liberal troll scum”?”

It’s all you do. I’ve never seen you post one positive thing about any of his people. You’re a shit poster. You’re never happy.

“And of course, “F-— Nuthinyahoo.”

Ah yes. There it is. I knew it would come out sooner or later.
