Quote HistoryQuoted:
And yet Maryland has an R governor. He beat the popular, moderate, black Lt. Governor. How did that happen? One thing is for sure, conservatives in MD didn't surrender. I'm voting for Stewart tomorrow, because I remember the disaster that Gillespie was as RNC chair and in his run against Fishmouth for Senate. |

Perriello might be too left tarded to win statewide; kind of thinking of picking him for the primary. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
I plan to vote in the Democrat primary. Also, there are at least some pro-gun Democrats in this state still, and Northam is on the record supporting significant restrictions. That's going to be a sticking point for them. I'd rather risk him being elected (and not getting any anti-gun bills through the legislature) then have Periello win the primary. I'm voting for Stewart. I don't much like him and I think he's gone a bit too far with making Confederate monuments† his signature issue, but he will damned sure energize his base the same way Trump did at the national level. † and this is coming from someone who is strongly in support of his position of protecting Confederate monuments. His attendance at the "torch light rally" in Charlottesville associated him with the Richard Spencer crowd, and that's not a good thing. |

Even the WashPo isn't supporting gillespie anymore.
If you don't think any of the R candidates have a chance anyway, why not vote for the one that's most in line with your beliefs? going with Stewart. I think he may surprise a lot of folks. He's won several times in "squishy" PWC. |

I realized the vote was today, and plan on hitting it bright and early on the way to work.
I checked out all the R candidates, and Ed is definitely the RHINO choice but Stewart is going to get my vote. And if Ed wins I'll vote for him, but I like the statements and policy's of Stewart more. I am related to Robert E Lee, but the statue thing isn't a big deal for me, It's all about the 2'd and lowering taxes, and responsible spending. Here we vote on Sheriff and DA also. |

Quote HistoryOn the Republican side, we see a very tight race (in contrast to other polls suggesting Ed Gillespie will rout his opponents), and we give a very slight edge to Corey Stewart.
So their poll is more better-er than everyone else's? How so? 
I'm thinking a vote for Stewart is a vote for a loss in the General. I just don't think he will get the monetary support he will need to win a statewide election. Gillespie is a RINO sure enough but he can depend on the monetary support from within and even outside of Virginia. LOL....Since Bernie came out for Perriello I'm half tempted to vote for him as he would suffer the same problem (money wise) that Stewart would because the Dem party in Virginia does not support him. |

Do some research, they are Dem leaning pollsters. |

I think the best case scenario is Periello wins the Democrat nomination. He's nutters a la Bernie Sanders so he gives us the best chance to win. Personally, I voted for Stewart/Vogel this morning. Realistically, I imagine Gillespie has the best shot of winning, espcially if Periello wins the Dem nod, but I couldn't bring myself to vote for him over Stewart who is pretty much a mini-Trump.

I'm on a boat in the middle of the bay and procrastinated on voting absentee downtown so I will miss my chance to vote for Stewart.
I will, however, vote for whoever wins this primary be it Stewart or Gillespie. The anti-gun leftist Northam (or the Bernout) must not be the next governor.

I hope that Stewart's showing in this primary sends a strong message to the RNC, but who am I kidding. Now we have two establishment hacks running for Governor in November. Barring a Trump-like miracle, Northam will be Governor.

I'm pleased with the results on the GOP side if not so much with the ones that won.
In a off-off year election you need turn-out and that costs a shit-ton of money. G&V can pull that kind of coin where Stewart would not have stood a chance of doing so. With a Northam win it looks like G&V will need every cent they can get too.

We all get it, Stewart would have been everyone's wet dream Governor, but he is unelectable in a general election. Giving away AR15s for Christmas, calling your opponents cucks on rededit, and embracing all things Confederate don't win general elections in a now blue state. Four years ago, do you guys even remember the ads they ran against Cuccinelli? I can't imagine what ads against Stewart would have been like. I'm picturing a photoshopped image of him holding an AR15, standing on top of The General Lee's hood, giving some Mexican immigrant the middle finger while he wears a MAGA hat on his head, and the ad saying "Corey Steward - too extreme for Virginia".
That's what you would have got. It would have been Northam in a landslide. |

The following is from VCDL's email from yesterday: "Statewide Results: Governor - Republican: Ed Gillespie, just edged out Corey Stewart by a little over 1%. Ed answered his VCDL Candidate Survey "Pro-Gun." Corey answered "Very Pro-Gun." Senator Frank Wagner came in a distant third. Senator Wagner also answered his survey "Very Pro-Gun" and has an excellent voting record." I saw no where in their email where they stated what you are saying. I also want to remind everyone that Ted Cruz answered their survey as "Pro-Gun" as opposed to "Very Pro-Gun" |
