Even more fun stuff from the LVF...

https://therepublicanstandard.com/latino-victory-fund-unleashes-another-hate-ad/

Did anybody happen to see Northam's running mate in that ad? I noticed there were some other pol's in there, but I don't think I saw him. Interesting, since they are cutting him out of some of the other campaign materials.

Don't you mean confuse the hell out of some brown kids??Last I knew you are in Missouri and Gillespie is running in Virginia,   Those brown kids won't have any clue who had Gillespe is.

Also, shouldn't that be on your front bumper??
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,

The old Jesse Jackson joke, how to tell if someone was from the north or the south, see which bumper the run Jesse run sticker was on.

Ashamed to admit I lived in a household that had a Jesse sticker proudly displayed.

They are really buying into Hillary's pass the blame game.

It has been told to me that Northam is essentially running as Hillary Clinton. I'm not informed enough to know if that is the case, but there's that axiom about not interrupting an enemy when he's making a mistake...

Yeah, he's definitely running on the coattails of the Clintons and current Governor, Clinton confidant, and Communist Terry McAuliffe.

The big problem is, Clinton won Virginia by about 220,000 votes, almost all of that coming from Fairfax, Arlington, and Richmond City.

Just took a look at the latest polls. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2017/governor/va/virginia_governor_gillespie_vs_northam-6197.html

Still close... until you get to Quinnipiac... They have Northam up 17 points.

It's getting hard to understand how anyone could want to be considered a Democrat nowadays...or a Republican for that matter.  Both parties should change their names formally to the Democrat Marxists and of course...The Stupid Party. :facepalm:

Northam is such a bad candidate that the Daily Progress endorsed Gillespie. Yes, the Charlottesville paper. Of course Northam is going to handily win the town.

One of my facebook observations yesterday...

Gillespie - Northam is Bernie Sanders with a thin coating of Hillary Clinton who believes in the magical money tree to give people free *expletive deleted*it.

Northam - Gillespie is a Trump shill who will kill the poor, feed them to the middle class, and end taxes on the rich.

Of the two *expletive deleted*it choices I have, I'll risk becoming soylent green over the believing in unicorns that *expletive deleted*it money.

I voted, number 207 today, same time last year I was 307, so less interest. I shouldn't have, but I  voted for Fairfax, be funny to see him win and the other idiots lose. Voted L for local delegate, it is a no chance in hell for anyone not named Dickie Bell district and he is okay, but hey protest vote.

Sometimes race-baiting and fear-mongering work out well for the Democrats. This was one of those times.  =(

The ONLY consolation I take from this is the detestable establishment types got their preferred squish this time-

And Ken Cuchinelli made it MUCH closer last time with zero support from them and all their money for Gillespie had him lose by 8 points.

Thanks yet again, you worthless hacks.

Yep, another state run by its urban center that agrees with nowhere else. Worked so good for Illinois and new York. Dunno what to do, can't leave, had people of my name here for +300. Hopefully just another crippled governor, hogtied legislature, term limit and a balanced budget. Long term expect to see more big industry go to South Carolina if we make idiot noises about unions or fight for 15. :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: [barf]

House 040 (R) lost by 68 votes. House 068 (R) lost by 312. Dems stand to have a one seat advantage in house of delegates. So save for a slim Republican Senate we are well and truly a blue state. I am sure national media will chortle about how blue we are, failing to note the difference was less people than one good Russian hostage rescue could take out.

AP is already with the spin. Jersey and Virginia are signs of voter discontent with Trump... Never mind that both states went Hilary in the first place.  ;/

Although the press is ALWAYS looking for confirmation that voters hate Republicans, I think they are correct in this.

Yes, Virginia did go for Hillary last year, but not by this margin. The House of Delegates is also a HUGE swing. These are all worrisome portents for Republicans. (Especially given how the economy is performing, compared to the past 8 years.)

Again, they were small margins of loss, but many of these were "safe" seats. Virginia appears to be headed blue.

(Now if Trump would only take my suggestion and send much of the bureaucrats to far flung areas of the US, we could end NoVA's dominance of the rest of the state. Another suggestion that I have read is to force DC to take back Arlington and Alexandria. I can get behind that, too.)
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

I'll help them pack. Maybe give it to Maryland, PG and Montgomery could use some new voters.

I think blue, or blue-ish areas are just going to get more and more blue. Red states are going to keep trending more red.

Until they get overwhelmed by refugees from CA, NY or IL, then they will start turning back to purple then to blue.

I'm reading that turnout was way down, as well.

In one district, Gillespie got 75% of the vote totals, but less than half of the vote numbers that Trump got. I'm not too surprised Gillespie had problems turning out the base.

(Oh, but we CAN'T run some uncouth boor like Cuchinelli! He'd make us look bad to the liberal press! ----yes, 4 years later I'm still bitter about stabbing an actual conservative in the back to elect TERRY MCAULIFFE.)
