Score a victory for moderates

[AlphaCharley]

48. Maybe, however the decider was the Washington burbs college edu. so

1 . This happens when Tangerine Idi Amin freezes federal hiring, wages and cost of living for retirees. which is where professionals in places like Arlington, Church Falls, et al actually WORK.
2. I'd hate to see the progressives turn it into a victory speech for sanctuary cities and identity politics and uber progressive values
because the other factor was Latin turnout understandably given the disgusting campaign Gillespie ran painting them al as M13 members ad nauseum. however Latin's are not particularly progressive on social issues. They care about issues pertinent to working families as a regular rule.

So the takeways:

1. It's STILL the economics, stupid as Bill Clinton aptly noted almost 30 years ago.
2. Don't mistake pissed off Latinos with a mantle to go confidently forward on identity politics.
