Nope.

Amen to that. For those that may not know, this is the photograph she used in official campaign photos when she ran for Lieutenant governor.

I respect her service in the Marine Corps and don't have a big issue with her holding that gun. I still disagree with her on just about everything else though.

I'm the PP. I too respect peoples' military service and my dad was a marine as well. But, unlike you, I have an issue with her choosing a photo of herself holding a rifle AS A CIVILIAN as her primary campaign photo. It's frankly bizarre. She can emphasize her military career all she wants in her speeches, written campaign materials, and interviews, but posing with an actual gun is a bridge too far for me. It would be seen as bizarre or extreme in most places on earth, not just here in the US among Dems.

+1 Youngkin won on Covid normalcy + McAuliffe coming back and acting like he had it in the bag. Neither of those is happening this time. Spanberger by 7.

True true. Other poster right too that Spanberger is a limousine liberal. But, she will win by a huge landslide anyway. More than 7 points. Double digit landslide. It doesn't matter who runs against Sears. Any D will win by a landslide due to DOGE.

Spanberger doesn’t even fit that characterization. She is ex-CIA and has been elected in a fairly centrist district in VA. She was rated the fifth most bipartisan member of Congress at one point. More like a Mark Warner than an AOC type.

I’ve no doubt the MAGA crowd will attack her as a limousine liberal, but that will only play to hard-core Trumpers. Others will readily see through it.

She is indeed ex-CIA, and consistent with that, she’s extremely deceptive.

Remember when she was first elected? Her loud message to other progressives was: “stop using the word ‘socialism!! ‘“

Notice she did not call for an end to efforts to advance socialism or socialist causes. She simply wanted progressives to conceal their agenda from voters.

She is and sneaky and conniving in the extreme. She has no ethics whatsoever. Believe nothing she says.

Anything to prevent something like this from happening again. The whole process is terrible for everyone involved. They are stating goals without any concrete plans presented in the name of a very nebulous "equity" goal. They've let the community speculate on what they might do for far to long and now everyone is worked up and at each others' throats trying to save themselves. If they had been doing their jobs all along this wouldn't be necessary, and even still a massive move affecting possibly every kid in the county isn't necessary. Plan ahead. Expand the middle schools and transition one period at a time to 6-8. Only make the moves necessary to fix overcrowding while actually working to improve underperforming schools - not just move in kids from somewhere else to get the average test scores up without actually fixing anything for the students who go there.

I hope the governor and even the president come down on them hard for this debacle. It would be the one silver lining to losing at the state and federal level last time.

Youngkin's been fantastic. I wish he could run again.

Before his response to the layoffs I would have agreed with you. However, the whole creating a Virginia has jobs site was extremely tone deaf. He has done nothing to push back on the mass layoffs.

This sums up my sentiments exactly. Gov. Youngkin - as the senior Republican elected official in Virginia - should have stood up for his constituents. He completely failed, in my opinion. That's not going to serve the GOP well in the near future in Virginia.
