[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trump just handed the Governor’s race to Spanberger. Thousands of Feds and Fed adjacent workers fired and/or disparaged. NOVA cares far more about this than a boundary fight or what bathroom people use. It’s an existential threat. Morons.[/quote]

The state government doesn't make these decisions.  [b]In general, the antipathy that people have towards local leaders carries over to state elections more than their feelings about the federal government. [/quote][/b]

Exactly this. People will vote R for governor if they think it will put a check on local leaders who have gone too far left. The Democratic Party operative who keeps posting here with such confidence is so very clueless. It really shows you how much trouble the Democrats are in. They are not talking to the right people and they’re not asking the right questions. [/quote]

Hahaha. There is no way in hell a Republican is winning the governor race this year [/quote]

+1 not everyone in Fairfax County/VA in general has kids in public school. But most people have a job, and many jobs are connected to the federal government. And ALL of our jobs are connected to the greater economic picture. Also if Youngkin taught us anything, it’s that Richmond isn’t going to get involved in the local school districts. We still have just as much “CRT” (which I guess they’re now calling DEI) as we did in 2021.

Also - rumors of a R primary are swirling with some saying they want to run someone against Sears. Meanwhile the Spanberger campaign is already in general election mode. [/quote]

Musk is threatening to back a right wing candidate bc he doesn’t like Sears. Whether the republicans agree to a primary vs a caucus is TBD. [/quote]

Musk is so generally disliked that candidates would be wise to steer clear.

If he actually cared about winning he would very discreetly back someone…and he would back a moderate.

What would a “right wing” candidate espouse that Sears does not?[/quote]

Dave LaRock, he's an election denier and Jan 6er. I believe Musk has been threatening to back his campaign unless Sears starts praising Trump. This could also be why Youngkin is walking a fine line with his public comments re DOGE.

IMO Virginia isn't going to elect an extreme right wing Republican governor no matter how much money Musk gives the candidate. Musk thinking he can just throw money at his perceived problem shows a complete lack of knowledge of Virginia state politics. FAFO.[/quote]
