[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Youngkin’s win was due to good old fashioned Southern Strategy.  They can try to dress it up all that want, but it doesn’t change reality.[/quote]

I have no doubt this makes you feel better about the terrible campaign McAuliffe waged, but it is both delusional and self-defeating. Wise up. [/quote]

Excuse after ridiculous excuse... when are Dems going to simply admit no one wanted what they were selling?  People are on to them.  [/quote]

Given that nearly half of Virginia voters cast a ballot for McAuliffe, I’d say a lot of people preferred McAuliffe to Youngkin.  You’re acting like the election was a blow-out when in reality Youngkin won by less than 2 points.  [/quote]

McAuliffe was already a governor once.  Given the attention span of most voters, that kind of name recognition by itself is often enough to get a big win.  The fact that it was even close, let alone a loss for McAuliffe, says that a lot of people weren't exactly thrilled with McAuliffe.  It was a blow-out, for all practical purposes.[/quote]

LOL no[/quote]

I guess you're LOL-ing because you aren't very smart?[/quote]

Winning by less than 2 points is not even remotely a blow-out.  I can’t stop you from clinging to fantasies, but no one else is obligated to pretend they are reality.  Youngkin won by a narrow margin.  Virginia is still very purple.[/quote]

You did read the post that you were replying to, right?  It explains exactly why you're wrong.  But hey, if you insist on only looking at things from one perspective, then you can believe whatever you want.[/quote]
