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.....

KC was a good candidate. Ran a lousy campaign but in the end was a good candidate.
Establishment Ed is a uniparty hack.
LOL. Paybacks are a hillary, no?
More than likely Jill Vogel will lose. That die was cast when the VA gop picked Establishment Ed to head the ticket. I’ll still vote for her.
Thanks for the note. Your post inspired me to actually go look and see who the L’s were running.
Turns out it’s a business owner out of central VA by the name of Cliff Hyra. Telegenic. Beautiful young family. Small government and freedom advocate. Wants to get rid of state income tax on first $50K of taxable income. Makes you wonder why the GOP isn’t running him instead. But we already know why: because it’s Establishment Ed’s turn to run.
Hope you got lots of gold.
Ken was effed over the same way that many plan to eff over Ed. Think about it.
Yup. The big difference is one candidate represented conservative viewpoints, the other one doesn’t appear to.
I’m not voting for any candidate just because they have the VA gop seal of approval. Screw that.
You are taking down Jill.
Unfortunately, Jill was screwed the moment Establishment Ed got the nod. Not much she can do about a VA gop deathwish.
How many times are you going to deny your own culpability? I guess anything else costs extra.
About as many times as the uniparty rah-rah squad denies the futility of running liberals with an R after their name?
Pathetic doesn’t adequately describe your tack. You guarantee the loss. As much as you bitch about the choices, you lost fairly in the primary. But, like Hillary Clinton, you must resist. Good bye.
Sad doesn’t begin to describe those who will support any squish so long as they have an R after their name.
Buh~bye.
He absolutely is. You could cut the irony in that ad with a knife!
What has happened to the Commonwealth? Is it a lost cause?
Hi.
“What has happened to the Commonwealth? Is it a lost cause?”
When power begins to decline for ‘Rats in DC, the less the democrats will influence the northern VA counties (ie. Prince George etc.). VA will go from blue to purple and then red in 4 years or less.

Sounds like he’s a much better choice than that LINO Sarvis.
What an idiotic response. I guess the proper reply back should entail something like, The Feckless Treasonous Seditious RNC loves people like you. They love your blind obedience. You checked pants golf club swinging GOPee morons are a dime a dozen! Go vote for GOPee Ed, you deserve each other! Virginia doesn't but it's inhabitants seem to be suffering from Swamp Rot of the brain! Enjoy your misery fool.
