I was just watching CNN and the commentator said that McAuliffe is blaming Bidens poll numbers and the fact that we havent even been able to get an infrastructure bill passed. It really seems like when your opponent is a far right , Trump supporting racist , people in Virginia would vote for McAuliffe no matter how they feel about him or Biden but what do I know?
Anyway, theres a massive get out the vote effort underway and if you can spare a dollar it would be much appreciated. Thank you! Keep Virginia blue!

(48 posts)I think it's a good strategy though, to pretend things are close in order to motivate voters.
At the end this will be similar to the Newsom panic. People were pretending Newsom was in trouble.
Mcauliffe is gonna win by at least 5%, and more than 5 is the likelier outcome.

There are no early voting results available.

(5,004 posts)Plus there has been zero outreach. I have not received a single piece of mail by McCauliffe. No one has knocked on or out a sticker on my door like in recent years. Youngkin signs outweigh McCauliffes signs big time. I think republicans are pissed and motivated because of all the changes that Northam made. Plus they are still pissed about Trump. We will still win if Dems and Independents that lean Dem get out and vote. I just have a bad feeling though.

(5,782 posts)I was happy to vote against Trumpism in any form. I voted last week for McAuliffe, although he wasnt my favorite. At least I know that hell do well for Virginia.

I had no issues with voting for him as President -- I knew he would be comptetent, lawful, collegial, professional, and decent. And, he has been.
But, I would have have voted for Tom Kaine, and I really do not like him at all. Hell, I would have voted for Charlie Crist.
