I honestly thought Northam shat the bed by approving that horrid “conservatives want to mow down kids of color with them their pick-em-ups”. Pre-election polls had Gillespie closing fast, but actual results are holy shit horrifically bad for the GOP. First good election night democrats have had since 2012.

And Gillespie didn’t do himself any favors with the blatant fear-mongering campaign promoting a falsehood that MS13 is a threat to Virginians. Not so fine people, either side.

I had to take the kids to swimming tonight, and the community center was a polling station. In VA you can campaign right up to the door. The GOP folks were completely ignored - people wouldn’t even look at them or respond to them even as they tried to engage them as they walk by. Wasn’t surprised to see Fairfax Co. go almost 70/30 Dem.

Not sure if you are in VA, but Gillespie ran some really disgusting ads, on par with the pickup truck ad, and best I can figure that pissed the hell out of the suburban DC voters.

Here in NJ, Phil Murphy won just as everyone thought he would

I have a few FB friends in VA (NoVa) who are ecstatic right now.

Brightest spot of the night, Danica Roem CRUSHING State Rep Marshall after his disgusting transphobic attacks and then his refusal to meet her in a debate while she just kept talking taxes, schools, and traffic.

Your district called you on your bullshit, Marshall. People don’t care about gender identity as much as they care about fixing the potholes in the state highways.

The less I have to see/hear from McAuliffe the better. The smear campaigns were so thick I never heard about what good Northam or Gillespie were promising - just how much the other is a lier and corporate shill. Real promising stuff.

I’m just happy we got Issue 1, Marsy’s Law, passed in Ohio. Honestly it was a no-brainer. Ohios issue 2 to was so full of underhanded pork that I voted it down. It failed.

Both Gillespie and Northam are terrible people. Neither are good for the state. It’s the same shit, different bag.

I live in Marshall’s district, my family knows a guy who ran against him and failed. We’ve had to deal with him for over 20 years.

Needless to say, my dad and I toasted last night after the results came in.

Well, now you live in ROEM’S district.

Kinja'd!!!

Did you see her quote when asked for a comment on Marshall? “I don’t attack my constituents. Bob is my constituent now.” I hope he has some aloe for that classy burn.
