True. That demographic is not open to persuasion. But they are also (thankfully) not the majority and good candidates can win without their support.

Last night debate between Spanberger and Sears was well...Let's just say Spanberger came off as super creepy, untrustworthy, looked like she was hit by a dump truck, and much more. Sears had bad moments as well.

It was hard to watch. While Sears won on points, it wasn't the rout that her campaign is claiming.

I remain pessimistic. There are too many entrenched Democrats who cannot abide the horror of a black woman who thinks for herself. And the absence of a Trump endorsement is going to be the excuse needed to keep many of he MAGA voters at home.

Did Spanberger address her continued support of Jay Jones?

Spanberger consistently polling in the 50-51 range. I think she gets exactly 51 (Kamala got 51.8) and Sears gets 48 (Trump got 46).

The LG race is a true toss-up to me. Miyares wins easily. I know the State Senate is not up this year. The House of Delegates is up but I have no idea what’s going on there.

From what I saw, which admittedly were only clips on Fox News, she danced around it. AM can answer the question far better than I can.

Tried to duck it. Blamed the Republicans for not releasing the texts sooner, and said that it is now up to the voters to decide.

Sears would not let her get away with it, and to their credit the moderators pressed on this also.

Thanks for the info. My guess is the the D's will ignore it. Party over country.

From what I have seen on Twitter, Spears came across as unlikeable especially with her interruptions and her "that's not discrimination" line

Spanberger came across as your typical DC liberal trying to mask what she really believes simply to avolid riling up team Red and hurting her reelection chances

She would have come across much better if she had been honest about Jones...something along the lines of "look I don't like him either but we need him to win this election so I can appoint his replacement after he resigns"

Ignore? Hell they endorse it.

But if Jay Jones wins the election, he won’t resign. He would have to be impeached/convicted by the Virginia General Assembly. And if Dems refuse to throw him overboard now when he’s merely a candidate, they certainly won’t do it later when/if he is the incumbent Attorney General of Virginia. They would (in that case) claim that his victory in the election is proof that the people don’t really care about it.

"Twitter"(X) isn't reality.

Spanberger is claiming victory and she is getting blasted on X also for making the claim. DC Dems are too far up their arse to have common sense. It is still going to be difficult for Sears to win, but if Youngkin can win on the parent issue, it is certainly plausible that Sears can win on the Jay Jones text isssue as long as Republicans statewide and independents GOTV in Republican strongholds.

I think the text issue and Spanberger lackluster debate performance will keep dems home more so than previously. Sears has been surging, even before the debate and text messages, We will see if it will be enough to win.

Nine days in hotels (for work) ended today and returned home. What a grind. Came home to see a check for $400 from Governor Youngkin for the state surplus return of funds to taxpayers.

I love that fact that I now have a bit more discretionary money, but the timing is curious and intentional, IMO. I understand the politics of the timing in October for a November election.

With that said, after post-birth abortionist Ralph Northam's tenure, Youngkin, Earle-Sears, and Miyares have been solid and stable, and the state has improved. Jeh Jones has no business being AG, and Spanberger is no suburban middle-class mom. She supports legislation to allow boys into girl's locker rooms. It is pretty simple on this one issue alone. No parent wants a person with a ***** undressing in the same space as the cherished daughters. I hope Spanberger is rebuked for this position alone when the election votes are counted.

Well, I know for sure of 2 votes that went into the voting machine this afternoon that didn't help Spamburger or Jones. Neither of them is remotely worthy of the position they are seeking. Unfortunately, there's a whole lot of stupid out there that gets to vote.

If going by early voting totals
48 are Democrats
42 are Republican

Leaving 10 competitive seats for grabs.

I think when the Dem powers that be say resign and take this cush job we have for you or we will go after your law license, he will resign

Maybe NoVa won't vote for a man who has desires to murder children to punish their father and mother
