It looks like Rubio carried the states wealthy northern suburbs, and Trump took the rest.
(SNIP)
Rubios strongholds overlapped heavily with those that lifted Barack Obama to his second straight win in the state in his 2012 reelection race.
Well, I would guess the people who voted for Rubio work in D.C. = GOP-e.
Federal Workers from North Virgina for RUBIO....YEA!
Hope Mr. Trump points this out...
[I wonder if the Muslim vote in Virgina could have beat Trump yesterday? /// ...this is exactly why Obama and the democrats have begun to shuttle in 170,000 Syrian refugees /// with Webb winning ( and later Franken), this lead to the passage of Obama Care]
........and did the Muslim vote in Minn. cinch a win for Al Franken?
[ Franken ran for the U.S. Senate from Minnesota in 2008 and, after a close race, he trailed Norm Coleman by 215 votes. After a statewide manual recount, required because of the closeness of the election, Franken was declared the winner by a margin of 312 votes.]
(...312 votes /// 312 muslim voters?)

"Did Muslim Vote In Virginia Swing Senate Control"
'The Detroit Free Press reports Muslims played a critical role in the November midterm elections'
Imam Mahdy Bray, Speaking at a Muslim American Society and Islamic Circle of North America convention in Dearborn, highlighted the effective effort to turn out Muslim voters in Virginia:
The effort was so organized that Muslim taxi drivers in northern Virginia took the day off to ferry Muslims to the polls, said Imam Mahdy Bray, a speaker at the convention. Volunteers also made phone calls to Muslims in Virginia to urge them to vote, he said.
As a result, Democrat James Webb ousted incumbent Republican George Allen by about 9,000 votes in a race in which 50,000 Muslims went to the polls -- 47,000 of them voting for Webb, Bray said.rol?(Nov 2006)

For my money Senator Allen gets all the credit for running a losing campaign. Nevertheless, if 96 percent of Muslims are going to vote Democratic, that would make them a more reliable Democratic constituency than African Americans. Democrats consistently receive only about 90 percent of African American votes.
I'd like to know how many Muslims voted in Virginia yesterday?
Thx. Franken didn’t win, there was ballot fraud.
That/s about 1000 Muslims voting under several identities.
Oldham By-Election Result Bent Fixed by Postal Vote Says Ukip Leader Nigel Farage
Northern Virginia ?
You mean Minnesota South (grin)
Ah, thank you Liz, I have always wondered how to decipher how many actual Muslims voted that day.
Yes, and when you consider that people in and around Washington DC know that Trump is going to cutting jobs like crazy in that area, his win in Virginia is actually quite amazing. Go Trump. |
From Virginia Election Commission data, it looks to me like Rubio doubled his baseline support in areas where the Dems have huge traditional majorities — NoVA, Charlottesville, etc. With the Dem primary a runaway, large numbers of Dems crossed over for the day to vote for Rubio. Many probably were government employees and dependent persons, who will not be voting Republican in the general election.
Thanks Mr Apple. And I love the premise of the headline -- Trump had a really close shave. That's why Rubio walked away with 16 delegates to Trump's 17 -- but in Alaska's caucuses, Trump's massive, historic, shattering defeat led to his getting a mere 11 delegates to Cruz' 12 -- and Rubio managed 5.
Thanks for all the info!
I heard Pat Buchanan on Hannity and he said there were many attack ads on TV just before the Super Tuesday primary in VA.
I can't stop laughing about poor midget Rubio sounding more desperate every day now, rofl.
Yes, I was also watching and heard the discussion about the attack ads.
