Hope VA voters are as dumb as the MD voters.  R governors budget surplus, D governors deficit.

Winsome is ready to step in and do a great job.  [/quote]

She has no chance of winning given her support of the federal job cuts and DOGE. If republicans actually pretended to care about feds losing their jobs and called a special legislative session to pass bills to support Virginias economy then she might have a chance. However, Youngkins tone deaf and pretentious response to the job losses has sealed her fate. [/quote]

You won't believe this, but RoVA gets a vote too. I don't think RoVA has much tolerance for Yankee candidates. [/quote]

RoVA doesn't have the population to overcome what's sure to be a Spanberger landslide.[/quote]

That’s what they said in 2021. I’m nervous. [/quote]

Youngkin, et al. were running against McAuliffe. Spanberger is no McAuliffe.[/quote]

So what? I remember thinking Democrats had it in the bag in fall of 2021, that’s what everyone in Nova was saying and that “we” had the population numbers to out vote the rest of Virginia. And then I had to make several trips down 95 to Richmond and the 757 during all of October and suddenly seeing all these Youngkin signs everywhere, esp in Richmond where people don’t typically put signs in their yards like they do inside the Beltway.

Women for Youngkin, Teachers for Youngkin, Farmers for Youngkin, Latinas for Youngkin, Unions for Youngkin, etc. It was nuts. And it confirmed that we are in such a bubble up here, and that attitude can hurt us. Then look at last year’s presidential election, and how Virginia was suddenly close.

I don’t think it’s a lock. Spanberger is not universally loved down in Richmond, and she comes across to a lot of people as boring and a flip flopper. She initially was advertised as a moderate when she ran for Congress and then has become more of a politician (which they all do at some point) bending her views towards the progressive.

Sears has been heavily campaigning where Spanberger has been ignoring, the less urban areas that DCUM snobs turn their nose at and don’t think matter. She has strong Hampton Roads ties, she’s an immigrant, and a vet.

I’m voting for Spanberger but I think this race is closer than we’d all like to admit. [/quote]
