    A vile accusation has been made against him. He should be demanding his name be cleared in no uncertain manner. Don't know what the statute of limitations is but he could sue the school for slander and win BIG time.

    Kudos to his wife for saying inappropriate circumstances when he was asked if he could still moon walk during the press conference. That would have been a fiasco, and surely he wouldn't have, but it looked like she was trying to be protective. She also stood with him in support with a disposition that reveals her maturity, as he took the heat. He married well.

    Who is accusing him of what?? Sounds like a mistake was made... some yearbook expert at the Eastern Virginia Medical School effed up... on purpose or accident we'll likely never know... As we all know, stuff that happened in the early-mid 80's has a way of being forgotten over the years.

    Also, I believe Northam said there are other examples of racist type stuff in the yearbook after checking with his old roommate... that will be interesting to see what else passed for yearbook fodder in 1984...

    Ralph Northam's governorship is experiencing a post-election abortion, but after his fellow Dems set him aside, they will "make him comfortable" and "have a conversation" to decide how they will kill his political career. - Gov. Mike Huckabee

    Why would I decide? It's a childish premise.

    Ralph "Coonman" Northam: Like O.J. Simpson, I'm Searching For The Real Criminal

    After admitting yesterday that it was him in the picture (though he couldn't remember if he was the one in the Klan robes or the blackface), Northam is now saying, "Oh wait, that's right, I remember better now, neither of them are me."

    NEWS: Northam is calling Va Dems and telling them that’s *not* him in the yearbook photo and he will make a statement this afternoon to say the same. In other words, he is NOT quitting as of right now.

    What would your opinion be on Kavanaugh if it was confirmed that he raped Ford?

    Gov'r Hindenburg ignores & refuses to shake a black candidate's hand.

    Fair enough. I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt but it did look like he was considering it.

    Why don't reporters ask him the most important question: "Are you going to continue portraying others as racists?" If he says no, then perhaps he has learned his lesson.
