[quote=Anonymous]The candidates so far:
Minerva Diaz (???)
Nick Freitas (state delegate from Orange/Culpeper)
E.W. Jackson, best known for losing to Northam by 10+ points in 2013
Bert Mizusawa (Trump foreign policy advisor and loser of the VA-02 primary in 2010)
Ivan Raiklin (???)
Corey Stewart (PWC BoS chair, loser to Jackson in 2013's convention and narrow loser in 2017's primary.)

I suspect it will boil down to Stewart vs. Jackson -- my thinking is it's Stewart since it will be a primary (Jackson has a strong base among activists). Polls show Kaine winning by double digits over Stewart, Jackson, Freitas, Brat, Comstock, and Taylor.

Not running: none of the US Reps, Cantor, Cuccinelli, Davis, Gilmore, Fiorina, Gillespie, Ingraham, McDonnell, and Wagner. They're sitting this one out -- and VA nearly flipped Warner in 2014, so the bluification is nowhere near Maryland levels. But in what's shaping up to be a historic wave election for Dems in a state that is increasingly looking blue, and where the A team is clearly sitting out?

(You'd think Comstock would chance a Senate run touting her NeverTrump credentials since she is pretty much lame duck walking in VA-10.) [/quote]
