Since we no longer care about doing the right thing, let's talk about math and black women

84. Ground Zero

I live in Virginia so not only do I have a dog in the hunt I also have a vote that matters. Before I go any further lets get some facts straight about the Gubernatorial race in 2017. Northam defeated Gillespie not Corey Stewart. Stewat lost in the primary. However he won the GOP nomination for Senate in 2018 but was soundly beaten by Tim Kaine in the general election.

In 2017 African American women in Virginia voted 88 to 12 for the Democratic ticket which was the widest margin of any of the groups that were polled. Now they were not the largest group of voters but thier efforts clearly made a difference particularly in the Richmond Area.

As a Virginian and a Democrat I do care about doing the right thing, I do not excuse what Northam did nor do I care for his lame apology. At least Mark Herring apologized for his idiocy. As for Justin Fairfax I am reserving judgment because quite frankly the comments on the whole affair have been divisive to say the least.

Lastly Democrats in Virginia have worked so hard to get control of the legislature and we are almost there. I also feel that our problems do not affect the party on a National level because all of National party leaders have called on Northam to resign.
