Virginia was no landslide, but I'll sure take it anyway.

Look at the sea of red in this election map. This vote was extremely close due to the Democrats and demographics of the big cities. Even with the vast majority of the state being red, we barely won. I am happy that we won, but I am still discouraged that 49% of my fellow Virginians are stark raving idiots. That 49% is addicted to the Kool Aid and will never change. Map link: LINK

Dems would be celebrating a 1 vote victory in Texas like it's Karl Marx's birthday.

And don't worry, the vast vast majority of that 49% of "Virginians" who vote blue moved there from other shite holes like Maryland and New Jersey.

In the real world, An 18 pt, +/- swing is a pretty big fricking landslide

The only way they'll ever change is if they actually get the policies they support with their vote and they see where those policies take them. That's the only way.

Those northern counties sure do know how to hold their votes until the last. I loved seeing the coal counties bordering Kentucky at 80+ percent. If they ever want to join another Commonwealth, they have a place here in Kentucky.

It’s no different than any other state… 99.9% of hard working blue collar country counties/ parishes go red, while the give me government handouts cities go blue. The key is that you still have hard working blue collar folks (including independents and center leaning democrats) in the cities, just have to galvanize them… folks are fed up with the woke left. Look at Virginia Beach, # 2 in Population for the state and went Red… this Louisiana country boy is proud to be one of those Red votes!

To note:
Virginia has "independent cities", which technically aren't part of the surrounding county.
For example, see the large county in the middle along the NC border. That's Pittsylvania County. The small blue dot inside that is the City of Danville. Both the county and the city have roughly the same population, just the city is not included in the county totals.

I was pleased that Youngkin won. I was concerned about election fraud.

One of the reasons we have a Dem Gov but a super majority in the House and Senate. Well, that and idiots that didn't vote for Rispone. Ralph is my first cousin. I held my nose and voted for that little prick beeznuis man. I didn't want JBE.

It's 12 points more Republican than the 2020 Presidential election and 10 points more Republican than the 2017 Gubernatorial election. It's a huge shift. Now they need to build on the victory.

You are looking at it the wrong way.

How many Dems pulled the lever for a Republican? A shite ton did!

That is the huge story. The people in their own party rejected the incumbent. They are revolting against their own party.

I’m afraid this victory will lead us into false confidence.

Am I understanding you correctly. You think that 49% of Virginia voters voted D? I am curious, how in the frick you came to that conclusion? Please tell me you have been on a deserted island for the last 10 years.

I disagree with you. Virginia had a massive swing in just ten months. I believe Biden won VA in a landslide and that same state was just lost by 2%. That is a catastrophe for democrats.

Remember, Trump winning Florida by 3pts is a landslide in that state. The point differential doesn't always tell the whole story.

A post on how Virginia was won:


quote:

I read all about the big win, but NO information about how it happened. You are about to learn that right here. I didn't say anything earlier because I didn't want to tip off the Democrats. How it happened was that a massive organization was put together in Virginia to both have great candidates and stop voter fraud. And Virginia was considered a pilot program so that everyone else could imitate it, starting next year. THIS WAS ALL DELIBERATE!! It did not just "happen." Here are the entities that created the Red Tsunami: The candidates themselves. They were amazing. The local Republican parties. Local Republicans in Virginia used to be pretty much comatose. Over the last few years, that has changed, with individuals working long volunteer hours to get the local parties' acts together. They have put together databases to get volunteers at the polls, and were a major force in getting trained poll watchers at the polls, which scared the hell out of the election workers. Fear is a good thing. The local parties were also the people putting the heat on local government officials, leaving the crooks in Nadler mode when it came to voter fraud. The Republican Party of Virginia, which was in a total coma until very recently but has come to life because of pressure from the local parties and other organizations. Organizations such as the Republican Women's groups, Virginia Constitutional Conservatives, gun rights groups, and Family Foundation. Also, another organization, Virginia Project, has been behind the scenes organizing the whole time, including making sure that there were 99 candidates for the 100 House of Delegates seats, and having a statewide election integrity effort. This included poll watcher training and getting deadwood off the voter rolls. The group has a pretty low-key presence with its web site, and Democrats probably didn't take it seriously. But here is the text from a recent email from the organization, and you can see what was really going on (from October 13, 2021): Democrats are running scared The rats have been cornered. They have no way out. A nightmare scenario is unfolding before them and all the means and methods they could once rely on now fail - often instantaneously. This isn't how things were supposed to go! ? Remember November 2019? ?Remember November 2019? The Republican Party of Virginia was all but finished as a going concern. Democrats swept statewide offices, and - surprising even them - gained full control of the legislature as well. The Republican Party of Virginia was at an all-time low, after over a decade of dysfunction and failure. Republicans had no remaining power over Virginia's government. Democrats controlled it all. The conventional wisdom immediately became that Virginia would turn "permanently blue" and the best Republicans could ever hope for is to accommodate themselves to that outcome. Just a fact of life, the "transition" to forever-Democrat government. On these dimmest of days for the people in Virginia, one light emerged from the darkness: a realistic path forward, one that could end the threat posed by the Democrats and the radical agenda which we knew they would enact with their newfound power, one that could heal the RPV and give it renewed life and purpose. That light was the Virginia Project. ? Making life hard for Democrats It's just a few weeks out from Election Day, and early voting has already begun. Where is the easy glide for Terry McAuliffe and continuance of the Democrat majority in the House of Delegates? They're locked into the wrong side of every hot issue, everything that would move a voter who can be moved. Even with money advantage, the political environment is outright hostile. Education is the biggest state-level issue in the campaign, public safety is not far behind, and Democrats are locked in to the wrong side of both. In the House of Delegates, they now face 99 GOP candidates. They are having to funnel money into races that were not supposed to have a GOP candidate at all, and certainly not expected to be competitive. Cheating is going to be harder than it has ever been - the pool of false registrations from which to draw from, cut in half; voter precinct-level data coming out of key Central Absentee Precincts; thousands of GOP observers, trained and scheduled in the deep Democrat strongholds where they could formerly act at will; lawyers at the ready to enforce election rights. Suddenly, out of nowhere it must have seemed, the GOP is serious about election integrity and not playing Democrat games or taking excuses. Even the RNC, against all expectations, stepped up with big money for election integrity. If things weren't bad enough, the Biden administration has been an active rolling disaster, making this election in no small part a referendum on its unraveling of the nation. Merrick Garland calling for parents to be treated as domestic terrorists sure didn't help... and that's just what went wrong for Dems in the past week. ? Poised for Victory These dramatic changes in Virginia's political environment didn't happen by themselves. These are the direct result of the work done by the Virginia Project - our relentless communications, investigations, support systems, exhortations and leadership, to patch the Republican Party in Virginia back up into fighting shape, to break down and render ineffective the means by which the Democrat Party had made its gains. We have done it. The Republican Party of Virginia is positioned to sweep back all the statewide positions AND control of the General Assembly, something no one else even thought possible, two years ago. It's possible now. Now it's time to finish the job. If you are able contribute financially - please do!
