Larry Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Yeah, it's certainly possible that 2020 said more about Trump than it said about R/D. Although having the R candidate go further and further into Trump land makes the distinction less and less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen maybe a dozen Youngkin signs this year (opposed to many many more Terry signs). Still, it's an uptick probably attributable to Youngkin not being as much as an embarrassment as Trump if you believe the "I'm just a regular guy, just look at my sleeveless vest" schtick from multimultimillionare private equity vampire Youngkin.

If this was Jen or Marco running for re-election; the Dems would’ve went with Lizzie or Bernie. Part of the reason why Joe is having a hard time getting his agenda thru; everyone knows he’s only president because his opponent was Trump. The right wing Dems know that; so they are using their power to water down or just out right stop Biden’s agenda. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Fwiw, i think yall need to quit Nate Silver. If anything, he's benefitted the most of anyone in history from being right exactly 1x in his lifetime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergasun Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I think it is pretty snarky to say about someone with Silver's background and talents. One of the stats nerds who contributed to grow baseball prospectus to where it is now and then also turning his talents to election polling and forecasting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was posted gave zero analysis from Nate Silver, it was just the results of polls that happen to be easy to grab off of his site. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmsy Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Does anyone have a real pulse on our own elections? I can't seem to get an consistent information on this thing at all. The only thing that I keep hearing is that its a close race and Dems apparently don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Caring for patients this morning. Fox News is repeating every 5 minutes that Dem voters are leaving the Party in droves because McAulife flat out stated that he thinks parents should have no input in children's education. And that Kamala Harris made a video that she sent only to black churches, and federal law for decades has forbidden churches from being involved in politics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmsy Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Youngkin was trying to keep Trump and his people away, while also courting the votes of his base. Eventually, those two roads will intersect and cause problems for him, its actually already started. Just in time for the election as well. https://patch.com/virginia/burke/youngkin-supporter-punches-reporter-campagn-rally-burke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseBlitz Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I’m quite worried about this election, but I do kind of get the sense that Macaullife is intentionally leaning into the story that Dems are not motivated to vote and he is going to lose. He knows as well as anyone that voter apathy is what got his pal Hillary, and it’s kind of smart to whip up some panic among rank and file NoVa Dems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ball Security Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 The satellite early polling station near me opened today for the first time at noon. Got there at 12:15 and it took me a little under an hour to vote. Pretty big line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, every Va governor's race is always this close. I don't remember it being like that, but word on the street is that there is no need to panic.

I’m in Fairfax County, but I don’t feel like my neighborhood is blue. It’s pretty mix with red being more vocal if you go by yard signage. I feel like in line though more people were accepting the blue sample ballot than the red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't really judge by the signs, conservatives seem to think that each sign counts as an individual vote or something. I'm not saying that liberals don't do it too, but I can't remember ever seeing too many liberals got wild with the signs. I was working at a house yesterday, pull up in the driveway and these people easily had at least 50 signs in their back yard. What you're seeing is just one side of that fence, on one side of that garage. I couldn't take a better photo without looking suspicious, but it's ridiculous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmsy Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Well, the newest polls have come in and said this race is now a dead heat. Not only that, but apparently independents went to Youngkin's side. I would be very pissed if we have to have a GOP state because Biden is weak sauce.

I'm assuming FOX news didn't bring up Youngkin's visit to a leesburg church (cornerstone chapel) a few weeks ago or that this same church is hosting Charlie Kirk next week.
