Metropolitan DC Local Politics
Stop making it a fight. Stop believing these manufactured “issues”. Stop projecting. The GOP is “spewing hateful rhetoric”. |
Me too, OP! |
Hello, tunnel vision mentality. |
That’s the best you have? Just stating facts. Facts matter. |

I know they’re making a big deal about it being a toss up but I do think McAuliffe will win …
That’s my best guess. I am D, but I also feel that if the Ds lose, they have no one to blame but themselves. |
| I think in the end McAuliffe will win by about four points. The demographic changes continue every year and make Virginia more and more D. But these short-term demo changes aren't picked up well in polls. |
If you are so concerned about getting pregnant, have your tubes tied. If you are so concerned about impregnating a woman, have a vasectomy. Or do you want to reduce social welfare costs of unnecessary people? |
There are Youngkin yard signs all over Arlington. Most of the Terry sugns are in medians placed by volunteers. |
We used to. |
Gosh, that hasn’t happened since 2016. |
| Driving around Nova to take my kids to games and I am impressed with the level of GOTV for Youngkin. Lots of parents (well couples) are knocking on doors and giving away Parents for Youngkin signs. I have not seen this level of enthusiasm for McAuliffe and McAuliffe needs to run up the score in Nova, Henrico, and the Hampton Roads corridor, but mainly Nova. I think that Youngkin has independents and is doing a good job peeling off moderate Dems who are upset with school boards and school districts (doesn’t matter if he can’t fix the problem- folks want to show they are dissatisfied and this is one of the few ways to do it - especially if the legislature reverts to GOP control. The two things McAuliffe has going for him is the economy (unemployment is 3.8% in Va) and that polls tend to underestimate Democratic turnout (although that was more so in the cycles when the state was getting bluer). |
This. Thanks for royally screwing my child for a year+ of no school. It needs to be clear that that is unacceptable on every level. Go Youngkin go!! |
| Northern Virginia is going to disappoint Terry McAuliffe and the reason is schools. Period. |
I'm a different poster from RVA. I live in Hanover which is deep red. Maybe the Youngkin fans here aren't concerned but my son and I did an informal sign count on Friday and we counted one more sign for McCauliffe than Younkin. Also the Youngkin signs seem to be on public land and not in people's yards. Saturday Youngkin held a campaign rally at Tom Leonard's farm stand for the second time. It's an upscale grocery store where no middle class shop. I guess Tom Leonard really doesn't welcome my buisness. Even the latest FOX poll has Terry winning by 5%. This is similar to the low polling Northam had in 2017 but he ended up winning by 9% https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2021/governor/va/virginia_governor_youngkin_vs_mcauliffe-7373.html |
Are people really that irrational? |
