[Orangeburst]

I don't think that's what the voters were saying but I'm not gonna interfere with a good self implosion

Amazing

If Republicans win the governors race in NJ I’d argue that’s a bigger story than winning Virginia.

So the majority of the unreported precincts are in deep blue counties where Murphy should pull a double digit percentage point lead. I agree it would but I’d guess it doesn’t happen either.

However the sheer fact that we’re into the next day at mid day and it’s still undecided is still a huge story.

You quoted the wrong poster. I never referred to anyone as the "religious right." I simply asked if a sane party exists.

Yeah, I went back and edited. Apologies

It's almost as if parents don't like being told they don't have a say in what happens to their children.

Weird huh?

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Yeah, I went back and edited. Apologies

It's all good brethren!

For those of you who followed this race, do you find the R winner to be more conservative, moderate, or liberal?

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Remember the following words of lack of wisdom from just about every liberal out there ....
don't fight on the issues, accuse "them" of racism , so you don't have to discuss the issues.

Virginia Lt. Gov. candidate torches Dems for manipulating Black voters: Voters are 'sick of it'

We want them to go find another victim. They (democrats) come out & want our vote only at election time. After that, they're gone & don't come back until another 4 years rolls around.

Plastic mask or holeless plastic bag, tightly bound?

seems to be more of a throw back moderate conservative - focused on economy, business climate, reducing taxes.

I think the school stuff that's being characterized as "culture war" is grounded in a feeling that schools should be accountable to parents not apart from them. The CRT link is just the latest evidence of the bigger issue of schools pushing parents out of the process and it was a last straw on the bigger issues of excessive school closures related to Covid and general "we don't give a crap" vibe from the schools.

do they want another Trump? because this is how you get another Trump.

I don't know .... but they sure as heck don't want the policies the democrats are pushing.
Higher gas prices and food prices plus NO Christmas this year & it's to be mandatory to have children wear masks for 8 hours a day & the schools teaching race hate towards one another is not what some people want. There has to be a better way for us to go forward & it's not w/the democratic policies being rammed down our throats for everyone to embrace & like it.

Moderate Rs and Ds tend to govern well at a state level. Ironically, they can be mostly fiscally responsible when they don't have access to printing presses.

I would expect McAuliffe to be moderate since he is off the Clinton tree. Correct?

Anti-CRT Parents Win School Board Victories Throughout America

The victory of Governor-elect Glenn Youngkin (R) over former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) has spurred excitement for future Republican wins, but the triumphs in local school board races hold special significance for those parents who fought big battles against leftist tyranny and Marxist-based Critical Race Theory (CRT) right in their own communities.

I'd argue that we don't need the citizens that lean extreme left or right to fade; we just need for politicians to stop catering to them and focus on the vast middle. The wide diversity among the electorate is not the problem other than the current system favors politicians that serve the extremes.

I'm annoyed I can't give this more likes.

This makes as much sense as while raping a girl her screaming and thrashing around is evidence of her really getting into it.

Seattle has elected its first female city attorney: a Republican who supports the police.

Ann Davison beat Democratic opponent Nicole Thomas-Kennedy in the race for city attorney, with a final result of 58% to 41%. Davison's victory comes a year after the city of Seattle defunded its police and in a state historically Democratic since the 1980s, according to the Seattle Times.
