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.

If you ever listened to the stock report on WCVE back when it was delivered by Wyman Cabell, that was it to a T. Again, the old planter speak distilled in the seat of their power. But it's rare these days; the scions of the FFVs either interbred with highly educated northeasterners and lost their accents or stayed in their little enclaves like the CCV or the Commonwealth Club, where the accent will die in captivity.

Nearly half the precincts are reporting in Loudon County. Although Gillespie didn’t need to win it in order to win statewide, he needed to be competitive. He’s down 18 points.

The Asheville mayoral election got hot.

This is all anyone in Asheville cares about : stop building hotels, and stop using air bnb

quote:

“I felt like what I was looking for was candidates who were not going to give automatic approval to new development in this town,” Lankford said. “I’ve been in Asheville 21 years now, and when I moved here it was extremely appropriate to get to build new hotels and new buildings, but I think that in the past five years, certainly -- and you can probably stretch it back a little further than that -- we’ve reached the tipping point…”

Lankford also voted for incumbent Mayor Esther Manheimer.

“She’s done a good job,” Lankford said. “She’s a very centrist mayor, which is what I think needs to happen. She’s very competent and she represents her city well.”

Another important issue for Lankford was short-term rentals.

“I feel like there’s a real lack of subtlety in the Airbnb debate in the community,” Lankford said. “I am not in favor of people that live outside the city buying up houses, and I understand the need for affordable housing.”

the incumbent was going up against a socialist waiter who ran on banning air bnb and free busfare.

Lower those eyebrows, young man. And the other one.
I want them to call it while Gillespie still has the vote lead because that’s always a hoot.

Know hope. The last thing they’re really waiting for right now is reference for the margin in NOVA and Naah gently caress.

yeah virginia is a loving nightmare to watch because usually the republican counties come in first and the republican has a solid lead that stays steady for a while and then suddenly NOVA drops in and massively changes the race late in the night, the fact that its pretty even in the count now with no fairfax means this is almost certainly over

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
