Having lost a series of tantalizingly close congressional elections, the Democratic Party has now placed the fate of its collective psyche in the hands of an unassuming, soft-spoken pediatric neurologist.
Virginia Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam says he feels no enhanced pressure to win his gubernatorial race this fall, even though his will be most high-profile contest since Democrats lost the much-watched special election in Georgias 6th District.
You always feel pressure, he told HuffPost in an interview. If youre not feeling pressure then youre not out there to win. And we plan to win in November.
But while Northam may be playing it cool, hes not being complacent. His campaign has plans to canvass the state, from the wealthy northern suburbs to coal country in the southwest. And theyre bringing along the big guns, too. Former President Barack Obama is expected to make his return to electoral politics this fall to join him on the trail, both Northam and Obamas office confirmed.....

A pro amnesty open border republican in the age of Trump does show that the GOP is hell bent on losing

I remember when the GOP establishment really got behind Ken Cuccinelli and helped him win.

I walked for K.C. If too many go Bill Bolling on me I stay home in Maryland for the entire slate.

And Oliver North, the establishment pulled out all the stops to help him.

Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson, along with the other great Virginia leaders who fought for individual freedom and against redistribution of the earnings of citizens by elected officials, and religious freedom must be spinning in their graves about now.

Dont go Bill Bolling on us. That bastard threw the 2013 election away from K.C. Bolling received a lot of cash from the Dems. He was a Dem plant used to siphon off Cuch's votes.

Sorry. I thought it was fairly well known that he could have pulled it out with a little more help.
Some in the establishment seemed embarrassed with him and his faith.

I beg your pardon. Bill Bolling was the Pubbie LtG who refused to support the nominee. Remind you of anyone?
I want to support the slate and bring others across from Maryland. I will not show up if the Virginia GOP repeats the disunity of 2013.
Some of you PRETEND to support Jill Vogel while opposing Ed Gillespie. You’re effing dreaming. Jill gets elected ONLY if Ed is supported also.

I’ve been listening to Ralph Northam, and I think he’s a narcissistic maniac.

The Libertarians will undoubtedly find some LINO who can get just enough votes to make certain Northamm wins.

Never been so mad at a political Party before or since. Unbelievable treason.
It’d be fun if Gilmore made a third-party run. True moderates love him.
Don’t know how he stands with Libertarians.

Got to understand the pecking order in medicine. Neurologists are famous for "knowing everything but doing nothing." (Surgeons are famous for knowing nothing but doing whatever they want.) This dweeb is a perfect a--hole candidate for the 'rats.
To: RKBA Democrat
Sorry. Gillespie is a known quantity, but any virginian who does not vote for him is a gold plated asshole.
To: hinckley buzzard
Northam is a smarmy, snarky person. As Dems go, Perriello came across as somewhat Human.
The state of my forbears is going down the tubes.

Having a RAT controlling that redistricting will guarantee a disaster for conservatives & Republicans.
A vote for Ed is a vote for a RAT. geez. It is a uniParty tactic to ensure VA remains RAT infested. This is one of those elections where no one should show up.
