Elections always tighten in the last week. I don’t know who wins, but I do know it’ll be close.

Spanberger will win because we chose to run a black Jamaican girlboss at the total bottom of the vibe shift.

That Spanberger isn't running away with it by 20 points is the only icing on the cake.

(And don't yell at me. I've already voted for Sears, for all the good it will do.)

Spanberger got the crap kicked out of her at the last debate but she looked as if none of the pointed, legitimate criticism form Sears mattered... no shame, no humility.

All theatre, the fix is in, she’s the preordained Northern Virginia Deep State tool du jour.

It's the Californication of Virginia. Build data centers, and the weirdos follow.

Virginia always teases but rarely delivers.

This is the way elections go these days...

1. The slightest infraction by the Republican candidate will be blown up into being tantamount to a capital crime by the press. The Republicans will be demoralized and stay home. D will win.

2. Should there be an actual scandal involving the Democrat candidate, the press will ignore it and any mention of it will be labeled as racist, misogynistic, homophobic, or another -ist or -ic as appropriate. Democrats will fully support the candidate.

3. In general, Republicans will be made to feel as if they are bad people if they support their candidate. Democrats will be told that they will be put in camps if they don’t support their candidate.

4. Polls will, for months, show the Democrat in the lead no matter what the reality of the situation is. In the last weeks or days the race will “tighten”. Any polling data released in the last few days before the election that shows the Republican in the lead will be correct. If polling shows a toss up or Democrat lead, the Republican still has a chance and, if the polls are shown to be incorrect after the election, it will be blamed on a “last minute surge” by Republicans.

Polls ten days out do not mean anything.

Especially when the polls lie about their sampling, conducted by a bunch of leftists, many of whom are recently graduated socialist indoctrinated college students.

Sears is going to win.
So will Miyares.

"Polls show a close match between Democrat Abigail Spanberger and her Republican opponent Winsome Earle-Sears ... Spanberger with an eight point lead"

I guess an 8 point defeat *is* close for a Republican in Virginia these days. Excluding the fluke statewide sweep in 2021, you have to go back 16 years for the last time the GOP won anything in that allegedly "purple" state.

Virginia was different then, though.

Yep. We're the GOP version of the libtard "We're gonna flip Texas" narrative.

It's a shame though, because we could actually flip Virginia if we weren't running black Jamaican girlbosses.

The only people who watch gubernatorial debates are the partisans who already voted, and their minds weren't changed.

Far too few conservatives recognize the link between big tech and the progressives down in those details. So they keep funding it anyways.

They think its just Facebook and Google. Big mistake.

Right now having a flashback to the "GOLD STANDARD" of all polls, the Iowa Seltzer poll, showing Kamala winning that state by 3 points. And once the election was over, Seltzer folded up her poll in order to take another lucrative gig (bribe).

Only poll I trust in VA is the Trafalgar Group poll which showed them essentially TIED.

It will be most interesting if it takes several days to count the votes before declaring that the Democrat squeaked out a win.

This happens frequently in Virginia. Recall 2020 where CIAbby Spanberger was trailing by a few thousand on the Wednesday after the election — and then they found that wonderful “flash drive” which had nearly 10,000 votes for her on it.

What a lucky break!

If any of the elections are close, and some *might* be (LG, AG) albeit probably not for Governor, the results absolutely will not be known on election night and will not be “final” for quite some time thereafter.

Spanberger is former CIA. Beat Dave Brat by less than 2% after the district was redrawn to include more northern Va and less west of Richmond which is predominantly red in 2018

She beat Nick Freitas 2020 who had a good lead on election night but additional absentee ballots found pushing Spanberger ahead:

Spotsylvania County Registrar Kellie Acors attributed the delay to equipment. Some of the scanners the county used to tabulate early voting results mistakenly combined ballots from two separate Congressional districts, she said.

In Henrico County, officials initially overlooked roughly 15,000 absentee ballots because they were uploaded to a memory stick meant for provisional ballots, according to VPAP.

She beat Yesli Vega in 2022 with most support coming from northern Va (Prince William County)
