it is very funny to me that the best news in the virginia gubernatorial race for republicans thus far is a roanoke college poll pegged to the 2021 electorate that still shows sears losing by 7 and not breaking the 40 percent mark. thehill.com/homenews/cam...
One would hope those Virginians who voted for Glenn Youngkin in 2021 have learned from their mistake, for sure.
I feel like a lot of them will have trouble voting for a black woman regardless of party affiliation.
US history tells us exactly that. What sucks is that it's only when the GOP shits the bed (like 2008) that We the (White) People can bring ourselves to vote for anybody beyond White dudes. It's past time we got over this racist patriarchal bullshit. Give somebody else a shot, ya racist assholes!✌🏻
2025. I knew what you meant. I can't believe that it is this close. VOTE BLUE! Bluesky needs to add an edit option similar to LinkedIn.
i meant what i said, please learn to read before correcting me
Thank you for pointing that out.
No, he means pegged to the 2021 electorate. They are assuming the same electorate that Youngkin won which would be the most ideal R electorate.
Thank you for pointing this out.
No problem, it is good news that this is the best polling number using the most rosy electorate possible and the Rs are still way down. Winning back VA is critical to success in 2026.
"Winsome Earle-Sears" may be the most Republican name ever
If Sears wins, trump will take over Virginia. If Spanberger wins, trump will take over Virginia bigly.
What a telling dedcription, "lost and angry"
I’m sorry, the GoP is running Windom Earle from season 2 of Twin Peaks?
I saw an article saying NY Republicans were optimistic about Stefanik’s chances because of recent polling showing her losing by 14 points instead of 21 points.
I missed that, but Trump won her district (NY-21, the biggest by area in the state) three times straight by about a 60-40 margin, so that would be a huge shift
I was talking about the governor’s race.
of course, that makes *so* much more sense to me now
She is not liked in Virginia. Abigail is going to win!
It'll be even funnier when they end up winning with just enough votes to avoid an automatic audit. 🤔
Hey, Congrats on your award!
I think a lot of about the Virginia Commonwealth motto these days.
Anyone who votes for a republican, this year or next, should have their head examined, or go live in Russia or Hungary for a few moths.
She’s Virginia’s Mark Robinson, without the porn obsession.
They're pretty desperate, eh?
I hear the occasional sound bite from her on WTOP, and she always sounds lost and angry.
losing by 7 modeled on the 2021 electorate, which, uh. okay, roanoke
re: Sears; Virginians may tend to conservative politics, but they aren't nuts.
Better safe than sorry. go.bsky.app/8hPxNat
She is a BIZARRE person
Winsome Earle-Sears has been a train wreck, and now she's endorsed by Trump, who lost Virginia 3X, so she's toast.
The "best news" for VA GOP is Miyares is looking strong in the AG race. Otherwise, it's looking like a bad year for Republicans.
I do not like to hear that. Is he ahead of Jones or just running even?
Latest polling shows still a lot of undecided voters. Polling is not super reliable yet. Got to keep working to encourage voters.
Works for me!
"The new poll also showed tight races in the lieutenant governor and the attorney general races." Whaaaat? 46-39 is not "also" a tight race.
I believe they're just being optimistic about not losing in a landslide
As it should be.
If Trump sends troops into Virginia to "clean up" our streets, and Winsome and Governor Glenny welcome them like good little MAGAs, Virginia will definitely return to true blue in November.
I just drove through rural VA this weekend (Charlotte, Amelia, King Edward, Halifax counties) and it was definitely noticeable how many more Miyares signs I saw compared to Sears signs.
The Post had an article this weekend about Republicans focusing on Miyares as they think that's the only position they can hold on to.
