FWIW, Perrillo was a flawed candidate for a lot of reasons unrelated to his populism. I've heard from a number of people who know him personally and are involved in state-level politics that he's basically a huckster who is trying to latch onto a sentiment, and Northam would make a good governor. And state-level stuff isn't going to flip until redistricting. The districts in Richmond for example are atrocious.

Fingers crossed that Stewart pulls it out. There's no way he pulls down votes from NoVA or Richmond. Worth noting that the turnout for Republicans was way lower than Democrats.

my bony fealty posted:Care to share any more about this? Some of the endorsements have been head-scratchers, like Levar Stoney coming out strongly for Northam. I might just be out of the loop. Well, a couple general things: Perriello has basically no elected experience (2 years in the House), made a lot of enemies in the state-level party -- which isn't good, issues with the party aside -- and his tilt towards the far left came out of nowhere. Basically, from what people who know him personally have said is that he saw how popular Bernie was, figure "gently caress it, I can say that same poo poo", and doesn't actually believe what he says. I know people don't like how Northam was a Republican not long ago, but he'll be a good Governor.

Hillary won VA, why would a candidate who has already alienated local members of his own party somehow do better than Trump? Yes I know shades of Trump and all that, but theres no way a pro-Confederation douchebag is gonna play well outside of a limited primary with terrible turnout.

Serious question: how do you take back the house with this district map? https://www.onevirginia2021.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/VA_State_Senate.jpg I live in a nice part of Richmond City, and my vote is basically worthless

If Stewart wins, how hard will the garbage Times-Dispatch twist to find a justification to endorse?

HARRY ENTEN 7:19 PM 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

this also doesn't account for turnout differentials which will be more apparent in fairfax/richmond/tidewater

Quorum posted: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. 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.
