Salt Fish posted:Dulles corridor was deserted. More poll workers than people voting at 7:30. I'd imagine most of those people will vote after work. Vote Northam in then kick his rear end for the sanctuary cities thing. If you can make him into McAuliffe v. 2.0, you could do WAY worse.

Only 8 among men? And +19 among women? That's... NO, GODDAMNIT, OPTIMISM, YOU STAY DOWN IN THAT BASEMENT!!!! Still, "too early to call" is different than "too close to call", right? It means they have a fairly good idea of who's gonna win but want to let the votes accumulate a little?

WampaLord posted:Oh my god, please don't let this be the loving takeaway if Northam wins. You gonna go back to posting about how Citibank owns because they gave some money to charity again? No, but maybe the takeaway could be that you don't have to have Barack Obama's oratorical skills if you want to win as a Democrat.

Right-wingers are already declaring that Virginia was always a blue state and they never really had a chance and Northam should have won by 20 so this is really a moral victory for them and  Delicious.

Lightning Knight posted:You're right, and I got my years wrong. It would be more like Fairfax 2028 or 2032 depending on how things go, which gives him enough time to run for a term as Virginia Governor. Vote him the gently caress out in 2018 and have that rear end in a top hat Eliot Cutler thrown into the Atlantic if he tries to run as the Americans Elect candidate again.

Paracaidas posted:https://twitter.com/GovHowardDean/status/929724035725918208 It's not a totally unreasonable position. Feed Jones money by way of GOTV and organizing but stay away from running ads--don't let him get Ossoff-ed. Let the SuperPACs bash the poo poo out of Roy Moore and let the campaign focus on Jones and what he'd do for Alabama, but national figures should stay the gently caress out of Alabama.

cis autodrag posted:Worth noting that both of these candidates are basically running in spite of the state party rather than through any maneuvering of the part. The WisDems are still as incompetent as ever. Is Mike Tate still running that joint? He was the dumb fucker that thought running Tom Barrett in the Walker recall was the best the party could do.

Konstantin posted:I wouldn't get too excited, not every Republican is a literal child molester with multiple credible women willing to testify to that fact on the record. Strange would have won easily. Not every state with a Republican Senator running for re-election is as red as Alabama. Get an infrastructure like Alabama's/Virginia's in Arizona and Nevada, and Heller and the AZ nominee (assuming Kelli Ward) are toast.
