3. We are a blue/purple area. Democrats usually win with 51-55%

Democrat Karen Key-Gamarra will replace a retiring Republican. Her main opponent was a tea party republican being promoted by the RW home school crowd.

I feel this shows that there is little support for extremist Repubs and that the Ed Gillespie run for the governorship is probably in trouble. Virginia will remain in opposition to Trumpy and the GOP's misguided policies.

Cool. TomSlick Aug 2017 #1
