[Amimnoch]

29. "stake" or "steak" I doubt he knows the diff. nt.

[LisaM]

3. I was pleasantly surprised by him as a governor.

The way he was willing to sign release after release to allow ex-felons to vote said a lot.

I know he's not perfect, but he did a way better job than I'd have imagined and it's too bad he couldn't run again.

[mreilly]

Pouring rum and rocking to the tunes. I can't even imagine I have to worry about NJ.

FUCK YOU REPUBLICANS! FUCK OFF!

[SkyDaddy7]

16. I hope you & everyone else...

That seems to be so sure are CORRECT...I'm still extremely gun shy after November 2016!!

[SkyDaddy7]

13. It has to be just positive HYPE!

I sure hope it happens but I also know he has a huge mouth that is known for saying crap that is not true.

...But mostly I have lost all confidence last November! It will take a few elections to get that back!

[SandyZ]

14. After about the 5th thread with Democratic wins, I am not about doing a happy dance.

18. The Pukes in Richmond know it's over already!

The DC burbs will roll up the vote!

Sweet!!!

[58Sunliner]

33. Richmond is blue. Go Richmond!!!!!!!!!

The pukes are more rural. Richmond is @47% AA with @51% white and 3% other. You must thinking about Brat and his district which is close to the capital.

[George II]

19. And he was correct. republicans are writing this off as a huge Democratic win.

[Libloom]

Lots of red turning blue

[oasis]

21. Dems rule. Bring on 2018.

[NewJeffCT]

22. Are they going to take the VA House & Senate?

I thought the best Dems could would be to make gains in both houses?

[Honeycombe8]

24. Here's what CNN says about that:

It comes amid what looks like a blue wave along the East Coast, with Democrat Phil Murphy also winning the governor's race in New Jersey and a swath of northern Virginia state legislative seats on course to flip into Democratic hands.

[rurallib]

23. As much as I love seeing Dems win, it does my heart good to see that fucking Gillespie

get his ass kicked.
What a fucking low-life, lying sob.

[Libloom]

25. Getting close

36. HELL YEAH!

[GeoWilliam750]

37. In the Virginia House elections

It looks like it will end up being 50-50. Interestingly, in one seat that went Republican, it did so by only about 10 votes. Getting out the vote really matters. With 10 more votes - out of about 2.4 million - The Democratic party could have taken a majority.

Then the other issue. Of the total Democratic and Republican votes - totalling 2.274 million, 1.3 million were for those candidates in the Democratic Party.

Democratic candidates won 55% of the vote - nearly 10 percentage points more than Republican candidates, but won barely (and only maybe) 50 seats. Thus, each Republican vote is worth about 1.2 Democratic votes. Also, 10 Republicans ran unopposed (23 Democrats).

We need some anti-gerrymandering laws.
