This is probably a joke but unlikely-- remember that Petersburg is the most Democratic locality at D+75, but Cville comes in second with a respectable D+57. (Third is Richmond with D+54, followed by Arlington, Falls Church, and Alexandria all clustered very close together at about ~D+47, and the actual cities of the Hampton Roads in the high D+30s.) The table in this article is well worth considering, both in conjunction with relative turnout numbers vs. 2013 and last year, and as results start to come out.

You ever been to Jamestown? One of the coolest adult vacations I ever did was, dorky enough, Colonial Williamsburg + Jamestown. It's crazy walking around the Jamestown ruins and realizing just how old it is. It's also really, really pretty in the fall.

I also had a long conversation with the Print Shop Owner at Colonial Williamsburg who told me all about how the colonists ended up dividing politically during the Revolution. The really rich and the poor were generally pro-Independence while the shop owners and middle class artisans were Loyalists because without Great Britain they were pretty screwed in terms of buying/selling their goods.

He seemed really excited to talk about all this stuff, I got the sense that not a lot of people visited the printing press and then actually asked a whole bunch of questions.

Really interesting stuff.

I had a long talk with the printing press guy at New Echota one time. He printed me a huge copy of the Cherokee Phoenix that I still have. Park interpreters are great people who just want everyone else to be as excited about things as they are.

The Confederate statue issue is very important to Gillespie's base, while Northam's is split-- white college-educated lean keep but don't have strong feelings on the matter usually, while black voters loving hate the monuments and no loving wonder. So this is about what you get in the population as a whole, and doesn't say a lot about how their opinion re statues influenced their vote.

Also,

I live in the "less racist suburbs" part of the state. We still have racists, but... yeah.

FFS I remember months ago during the height of the statue removal debate there were polls showing that a majority of Americans did NOT support removing them. Out of everyone.

This is one inexact exit poll taken god knows where in Virginia where white democrats are assholes.

I understand the temptation to look at polls and freak out but if you do that you'll need to grapple with why you believe that some of them are predictive and others aren't.

The better course is to realize that early exits suck and nobody can really know anything yet!
