    Biden, Obama and Harris all campaigned hard for whatshisfacegovernorwannabe. and he lost.

    So staying away from Biden, Obama and Harris may have helped Democrats.

    Kamala Harris claimed “What happens in Virginia will in large part determine what happens in 2022, 2024 and on,”
    I happen to agree with her.

    Too bad Democrats in Virginia hasn't learned that yet since Trump and racism was their battle cry.

    I grew up in the mean streets of McLean VA. It was a nice place to live back in the 60s.

    Good point, and one should consider the source here, too. Larry Sabato is an academic serving at what is probably the most "progressive" educational institution in the Commonwealth - the University of Virginia. His analysis comes as no surprise, nor does his willingness to overlook the inconvenient fact that those allegedly "racist" voters just elected Virginia's first Black female Lt. Governor and its first Latino AG.

    As they say in these parts, that dog don't hunt...

    While Democrats (Much like here on PF) were crying about Trump throughout the campaign.

    Democrats love to use race as a wedge issue. When you realize that their face is that of ancient white men who are to their cores racists, you understand why Sabato couldn't be bothered to recognize the accomplishments of minorities rising to power in his state. It certainly threatens them and him. Wait till students bring class actions against his brand of marxist socialist BS.

    That and the dems hyper focus on blue areas and blue turn out instead of reaching out to anyone. There was record turn out in an off-year election and the dems just lost the enthusiasm race to the polls.

    Dems tried to make the election about Trump and abortion and they failed because Biden is president now and the election was about the economy, education and public safety for the majority of Virginians.

    Their strategy reeked of desperation, and I'm sure a large portion of their failed media campaign was funded by out-of-state money.

    Heh. That article proves yet again that self-awareness and introspection have never been "progressive" traits.

    McAuliffe has to be upset that the party didn't make a big enough effort to steal this for him.. Praying the honest vote prevails n NJ.

    Let me show you how it works.

    Bergen County, NJ reported 219,894 votes last night at midnight - 100% reporting, with 52% for @Jack4NJ. This morning Bergen County has 261,528 votes (40k more votes) and now shows @GovMurphy as the declared winner of that county.

    The funny part is that the Babeuvian Illiterati in the LW MSM are screaming that Democrats should double-down on the "progressive" idiocy that just got them clobbered in Virginia.

    More rope, please! :lol:

    Now that the power has shifted to the right in VA, lets see if they actually want to govern or just throw spitballs at Democrats like the children they seem to be. Just look at these posts, most of them resemble comments made by 10th graders not adults. What exactly do they want? They don't want CRT in schools? It isn't in schools. As I said, rightees are great at winning elections but governing is not really their bag.

    Correct. Not even the election fraud machine could overcome this one... When you run on the platform that parents shouldn't have any say in their children's education, that's a losing platform even with a number of Democrats.

    Funny how in making this racism accusation, YOU are the one who is being the racist... Do you not realize that Youngkin received votes from people of ALL races, creeds, religions, sexes, ages, party affiliations, etc...?? To act as if only "old white racists" voted for Youngkin is, in and of itself, RACISM (and bigotry)... Sickening!
