The GOP is going to panic over this. Their strategy to go full racist may have completely backfired. But the thing is they have no other strategy. Racism is all they have and the electorate is getting less racist every year,

The GOP is hosed going forward. There will be losses and setbacks for the Good Guys but they are hosed long term.

uh they're just going to fall back on their legislative victorAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The New York Times’s cool dial thingamajig now projects Northam to win by about 8 points, although with a wide margin of error. If we wound up somewhere in that range, that might prompt some questions from me about whether pollsters (other than Quinnipiac, which had Northam up 9) were overcompensating a bit for last year.

I'm assuming a big special election year for democrats will make at least a few republicans in the senate scramble to distance themselves from trump any way they can, so drive that margin sky high

2010 shows us what happens when the party candidates try to distance themselves from the president.

I strongly agree. Being the Party of Democracy is a strong message (sad that we've reached that point).

Make the Republicans constantly justify why they want fewer people to vote.
