You're a mess, Virginia.
We’ve been invaded by DC and Maryland idiots plus out breed by the scum in Richmond and Tidewater.
I know it. Believe me, it breaks my heart.

ScurvyThe no so bad:
Ed was a terrible candidate to begin with.
Virginia also has a long history of the Governor being a different party to the President. The last election was the only time the gov and the pres were the same party in like 100 years.
The bad:
Republicans haven't won a statewide election (outside Bob Mcdonnel) in quite a while.
The worst:
The Republicans might lose the House of Delegates.

callibirdLooks like the big blue asshole in the NE quadrant of the state has a good deal of sway. Most of the rest of the state appears to be sane.

I think he had 2 things going against him
#1 he distanced himself from Trump
#2 He was an establishment (r)

Why is that?
Because dems have picked up 12 GOP seats and are in the lead in 6 more. That would give them a majority. With the dems sweeping all of the statewide races, it will give them more power than ever.
They also elected a dude who dresses like a girl.

mrapteam666It saddens me that the beloved Commonwealth of VA has become such a blue state.
I remember when I first moved there right after 9/11 from Ohio.
I made a statement the other day that as each year passed the stated started to slide more and more.
Heck, I don't even recognize most of the crap that comes out of Cols. Ohio anymore either

roustaboutI'm not a VA resident, but still had high hopes the Republican candidate could pull off a victory. It's hard for me to believe that Virginia could be taken over by the GDCs, but sadly that is exactly what's happened.

mrapteam666I wanted to come back to VA and get back in LE
But with the recent results I may be re-thinking that strategy for a few years

The Reps still have the senate and I'm sure there are still a few conservative democrats left that would make any gun control and non-starter.
So much for hoping to find deals at the Richmond gun show though.

I've lived here 7 years. When we moved here I thought it was a pretty stable state. Guess I was wrong. I guarantee I won't live in a New Jersey or Maryland Gestapo state. I didn't want to move again but!!!!

46and2Damn, that sucks. Sorry, Virginia folks.
November 07, 2017, 08:26 PM
ChuckFinleyMove to Kentucky. It's pretty much shaped the same and used to be part of Virginia.
