All That Stands Between Democrats And A Massive Freakout Is This Man (Virginia governorship)
The Huffington Post ^ | June 22, 2017 | Sam Stein

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 Georgia’s 6th District.

“You always feel pressure,” he told HuffPost in an interview. “If you’re not feeling pressure then you’re not out there to win. And we plan to win in November.”

But while Northam may be playing it cool, he’s not being complacent. His campaign has plans to canvass the state, from the wealthy northern suburbs to coal country in the southwest. And they’re 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 Obama’s office confirmed.....

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

Don’t go Bill Bolling on us. That bastard threw the 2013 election away from K.C.

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

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.

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.

Sorry. Gillespie is a known quantity, but any virginian who does not vote for him is a gold plated asshole.

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.
