It's going to turn out in post-mortem analysis that Northam's racist crap actually HELPED him or some poo poo isn't it? I mean, it is Virginia.

If that's the case it's probably not the actual racist implications but the nice words for bipartisanship. Virginians love that poo poo in a campaign.

Also if he outperforms, it'll be thanks to late deciders, and that could be because of anything.

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
These "very early results" that we "shouldn't draw any conclusions from" have been remarkably good at predicting the outcome for the last several elections I've followed. So... good news? :)

LG is a loving useless have-a-pulse job that's basically just a pre-primary for next time. Give fucks about AG once you're done with Gov.

The fact that Gillespie is only leading by like 3-4% so early is very good for Northam.

Also shut up Chris Matthews, we have southern accents in blue Richmond and Hampton Roads and the Eastern Shore too. Ralph Northam is from the Eastern Shore, his accent is classic Tidewater.

The tidewater accent is a really interesting thing. It's basically all that remains of the old aristocratic planter speak, though it's got some Baltimore mixed in since the Chesapeake Bay communities were more closely tied to each other than to inland locales pre modern transportation.

Also everyone knows to a local it's NAW-gently caress. :colbert:

The votes in Chesterfield County, Virginia, appear to be just about complete. Gillespie is ahead by 1 point there. Trump beat Clinton by 2 points there last year. This is just one location, but suggesting a slight D shift from last year.

Gillespie needed to win by 7-10 there. :stare:

Richmond has a distinct accent too, it's rare to find it these days, only really see it among older white people who grew up in the city.

Voted at 6:30 this morning then spent 10 hours at work trapped with three Republican co-workers who only talked about how awesome guns are, how evil and corrupt Hillary Clinton is, and how good the Dallas Cowboys are, so I'm assuming there is no good in the universe and we might as well give up
