Hence: Gillespie wins.


Lots of Dems are doing the same idiotic thing as last year. "Northam has warts/isn't perfect, so I won't vote for him."

Congrats-you just elected a republican who will let the idiots in the legislature do whatever they want.



My spouse and I voted for Virginia democrats for governor for decades. McAuliffe is as dirty as they come. Why the heck should we vote for Northam who has already shown he is owned by fellow democrats? We need new thinking on state immigration, public school status and results (get rid of current Virginia Department of Education who do nothing locality), reconsider DC METRO board and our incredible NoVA payments, reconsider Chesapeake Bay Water over regulation and our taxes to conform with same, reconsider Dominion Electric's monopoly on us, and frankly, Northern Virginia's overtaxing giving the rest of Virginia an undeserved tax break.



I don't think Gillespie will do anything to help the situation in Northern Virginia, though. If anything, his supporters are really counting on him to keep the money flowing from the blue parts of the state down south.

Who knowa, PP. If Gillespie can think out of the box this proverbial nonsense between north and south Virginia might end. I for one, surely hope it does!

I think Northam will regret not running a "tough on crime" campaign. He probably was too caught up in identity politics; how well did that work out for HRC?

Not only will he not win, there's a very good chance he'll be in a jail cell next to his neighbor Manafort

Seriously - what evidence have you ever seen that Gillespie is willing to consider (or capable of) "thinking out of the box?" At least Northam's likely to be harmless.

Gillespie is as capable of thinking out of the box for the future of Virginia as any of us. Plus he has a lot of political savvy behind him.

NP. Gillespie doesn't want to think outside of the box to resolve the north/south divide here. He's made it very clear he has no interest in serving northern Virginia. For now we're nothing more than a cash cow for the rest of the state, and what they'd really like to see is enough northern Virginia residents move to Maryland or DC that the Republicans can regain their stronghold.

Hillary came into New York from another state. Any problem with that?


She hardly even lived there before she ran for senate.

You are insane. You're the type of person who said Trump "isn't a politician" and will "think outside the box." All that's happened is Trump bringing in the most corrupt people in the country into DC.

Gillepsie is going to royally f#ck Nova. I hope you like sending all your money to southern VA, because that's where it's going. You're going to just have more traffic, higher tolls, and less infrastructure investment with Gillespie.

Jfc. How can you be this dense?

Didn’t realize she is now in the Virginia race.


Are you really this dense? She moved to NY specifically so she could run for Senate there. She was never from New York. And then, as a presidential candidate, she called half the people in this country "deplorables." None of that seems to bother you though, right?

This is not and never has been an issue. He was chair of the Virginia Republican Party in 2006. He's lived in Virginia as far back as I can remember. HE worked onnHill before that. And attended college here too. He left New Jersey decades ago and never looked back. He and his wife live near Mt. Vernon.


PRECISELY. Terry McAuliffe is a New Yorker, then a resident of DC, before moving to VA. Lots of people are born in raised in states other than the ones they wind up representing. And that's all a-ok, as long as they're not Republicans. Just more examples of the constant liberal hypocrisy.

Right. And that's why the local papers like the Sun Gazette have endorsed him. Don't spread histrionic lies.

I actually think Northam is going to win because there appear to be so many ultra-liberals in NoVA. I certainly hope he does not, though.
