1. and they need to keep legislature majorities nt

[Elessar Zappa]

2. If the panic

gets the Democrats to the polls then I’m fine with it. But I agree that he’ll win.

[Hoyt]

3. A little bit of "remember 2016 when we thought we had it," won't hurt.

[PortTack]

4. Agree! I think it goes back to '16. I'd rather ppl panicked and vote than sit it out

5. better

than the alternative.

6. the repubs are going to take virginia in a big way.

big enough to impose their voting "reforms"

the "critical race theory" and "transgender bathroom in school" issues are working for them.

9. Bullshit. nt

[DFW]

7. My opinion exactly.

Election night panic will set in, and then Fairfax County will ride to the rescue, as usual.

As a native son of Falls Church, I can confirm that we have a majority of white hats in our area.

8. McAuliffe breaking the 50% threshold makes me feel better.

10. I live in Loudoun County

in Northern Virginia. We should be panicking.

[Patton French]

11. Well, many have been panicking for the last 3 weeks, so I have no doubt you're correct..

..on both counts.

[Amishman]

12. Terry will win, but I think the margin will be tight enough to be an eye opener

The Pubs are a little too fractured to pull it off, Trumper vs old school Pub.

I'm thinking 3% margin

I'm also think people will jump to the wrong conclusions. This race will be close because Terry has baggage and isn't a strong candidate because of it, not because of the larger political picture

13. The media will spend the next three weeks panicking about VA-GOV...

14. If panic functions as a "complacency killer", then I'm all for it.

Ask California Dems about that.
