I feel like the takeaway from the Northam campaign ought to be "don't let Republican attacks get under your skin so much that you say stupid poo poo a week out." He should've walked into today's election with a ten point lead.

anyone know anything about the ballot initiative in maine or the special in Washington?

All 2 people I know who live in Dhingra's district have been double checked to make sure they voted (they did)

Washington always has slow-rear end results because it's 100% mail-in voting and the ballot only has to be postmarked by election day, not received by election day

1st precinct in and it's 66% Gillespie, 33% Northam.

A Dem is not going to win Virginia by 10 points right now no matter how awesome they are. Maybe in 6 years.

centrism is a hell of a drug

Seamlessly stolen bit of wisdom:

Reading exit polls is like hooking up with your ex. You know you shouldn't, you really want to, and if you do you will definitely regret it immediately.

Too Close to Call = Exit Polls are really close, we have no idea
Too Early to Call = Exit Polls had a clear winner, we just need to confirm with results that they're right.

Basically if a race is too early to call it most likely means the results matched the polling.

I'm gonna hold off on that assumption for a bit to be honest. They could be just mixing up the terms if they even know there is a difference.

There's something so stupid about Ralph Northam's face, maybe he looks like a teacher from childhood that I hated or something, but I can't stand seeing photos of him. Gillespie has ZERO chin and jaw, how can a man with testosterone levels that low win a GOP primary

Yeah if he just led off with the JEB! map I'd have gotten a decent chuckle. Because its a funny joke.

The cruelty wasn't in the punchline it was in the stringing out of extremely stressed out people. So gently caress him.

Unless Warner gets elected President Northam has nowhere to go but maybe HHS Secretary. Or, I guess, being a respected Pediatrician.

Nah these are terms of art that people understand and use consistently. Thats not to say it couldn’t switch to too close to call as results come in that don’t match their model, but NBC made the same characterization based on the same exits.

If he wins. Statewide Dems don't really have any openings for a post-Gov spot like when Republicans held both Senate seats.

It’s very early, but I’m looking at three counties where Trump did well and have some very early results. If we use the 2016 presidential election as a baseline, Northam is doing well enough in those three counties to win statewide. But let’s wait for more results
