I'm hoping for Stewart and would settle for RINOish Gillespie but I think Northam is going to win.
Northam already has ads on the local TV stations talking about how great he is and how he "stood up" to the NRA. That cancer upon this great state, NoVa, will gush over him and anti-Trump sentiments will play a big roll. I wonder if the left will dust Sarvis off to spoil the election again... |
|
I'm hoping One Term Tom (as a local AM talk show host called him) bloodies Northam enough to keep it competitive with Gillespie. Ed came close to knocking off Warner for senate and I think the RNC will be a bit more generous with the funding than they were with Cuccinelli.

We had/have some good candidates for governor and lt governor, but Gillespie and Vogel are getting the establishment nod. Neither are solid friends of the gun community and on personal levels aren't even decent people. Vote June 13th and let's do better.

As someone who knows both Gillespie and Vogel personally, they are kind and decent people. Vogel has an A+ from the NRA and was endorsed by the VCDL. VCDL even released a long statement saying that of the LG race she has been the most reliable at carrying pushing pro-gun legislation. View Quote ETA: Feel free to enlighten us on Vogel's computer and cell phone that were the sources of false adultery claims on Reeves. She's a smarmy lawyer that's "in bed" with the right to people for politics. Does Ed's constant ignoring our 2A functions not bother you? |
|
Back on 2012, at least, Vogel was speaking out for several pro gun control issues and has made anti "assault weapon" statements in the past. How she got an A+ or VCDL passing grade is puzzling.
Her childish spat with Reeves isn't doing either one of them any favors either. |

Northam has it locked up. The cunt winning va by 5.4%, trumps low approval ratings and NOVA all but seal the deal.

That's what I'm thinking too. Republicans and conservatives won't unite around Stewart or Gillespie, whichever wins the primary, so turn out will be low and Northam will win. We are experts at fucking ourselves over with squabbling View Quote |

As with so many elections it will be the lesser of two evils. Dems seem to be doubling down on gun control with their candidate.

Need to use the courts against the current Gov and all others to the throne.............nothing but career politicians, lining their retirements while working stiffs.............toil for nothing..............I predicted Trump would win it all the day he said Mexicans send their worst to our country.......criminals, drug dealers and the rest.............Look at Bob..........cleared of his criminal convictions......but unethical.......from top to bottom........Republican Sheriff's that won't even honor ICE detainers............Moral fabric is crumbling.....and the Republicans and the Democrats are to blame............equally

Does Corey Stewart even have a chance? Wasn't he fired by Trump for protesting the BS GOPe was throwing at Trump during the campaign? Seems like the GOPe will screw him harder than Cuccinelli and he won't be getting any support from the Trump Camp.

View Quote I'm not opposed to the display of the Stars & Bars, and revere the sacrifice of my 3 Confederate ancestors. But times have changed here in the Old Dominion and a lot of other places. No politician with any hopes of success can say the things that Corey Stewart has said and hope to be elected. |

From a Northam tv commercial "Donald Trump is a narcissistic egomaniac".
I hope Trump sues him. Sad that he will likely be the next governor, and his agenda will be full throttle on gun control. |

Saw on RCP polls showing both Perijello (spelled incorrectly on purpose) and Northam handing gillsepie his ass. They were from Wapo though.

Folks keep forgetting this isn't a Red state anymore, and folks like Stewart have zero chance to win in VA. He is completely toxic to the undecideds and the folks in the middle, and is hated by everyone on the left, so no chance of anyone on that side finding any reason to consider him. His connection to President Trump hurts, not helps, him. Anyone here who truly believes that ultra right wing conservatives stand a chance of winning the Governorship in the Commonwealth hasn't been paying attention to the last several election cycles. IMO, Ed Gillespie is the only viable option for us to win back the Governors mansion.

Quoted:
Complete nonsense. Other than the imported libtards that came rushing into NOVA with Odumbo, the state is solidly red. Now that Trump is flushing a lot of those imbeciles, it will be fairly easy to have a GOP governor. Remember, Trump won a resounding victory over the establishment candidates both GOP and Dim. He didn't do it by being squishy. He did it by sounding like an actual conservative, rather than a milquetoast moderate. Precisely the same thing will happen here with the gov's race. People want to vote conservative, they are just having a hard time finding one. View Quote It isn't just NOVA that is blue, it's Hampton Roads, Richmond, Roanoke, and the college towns. The only place conservatives can win in the Commonwealth are district races such as State house and Senate seats and the House of Representatives. I don't believe we'll ever see a far right conservative ever win a state wide election in the near future, the demographics are against it and continue to grow more so. So, I say again, I will vote for the "R" nominee, whoever he turns out to be. Will you? |

And they're all better than Northam. We have to do whatever it takes to keep him from winning, even if it means voting for the Republican candidate who isn't our first choice.

Reality check- Trump lost Virginia. The only surprise was the margin was as thin as it was, but that's attributive to how unpopular Hillary was with many younger VA Democrats who were furious with how Bernie was treated by the party.

Here's a novel idea.....How about supporting those that will get the full backing/money of the GOP donors? You need money to win.
Yeah, that means supporting Gillespie () and Vogel but I want a GOP win and yes while it's biting into a shit sammich for me to vote for Gillespie I willing to vote that way for a chance for the GOP to get a win....Stewart has no chance in a general election. Winning is all that matters at this point. We can hash-out details later after we WIN. Remember, just like in dealing with McAwful it's the Legislature keeps the Governor in check. |

Stewart might win the primary tomorrow.
