There needs to be a prize for losing. The dems are so good at it

EDIT:

So Biden goes on his "climate" junket, what does he do? Tells OPEC to increase output to keep prices down in the US.. very climatey

    Until a few days ago, McAuliffe was thought to get a sure win. But then concern stated building among parents that theories born in academia out of communism and racism were infiltrating school systems. Especially in western Virginia, were the inhabitants are the designated victims of this new and virtuous racism. The "transgender" rapist story in genteel, rich, virtuous, deep state, Democrat Loudoun County didn't help. The extra turnout of voters in the west could not be fixed by massaging numbers in the east. And so the Republican won.

    What's up with the Lieutenant Governor's office there? Is that a separate ticket from the Governor's office? Virginia now has its first black, female, immigrant Lt. Governor. She's Republican.

    In New Jersey, Governor Masks and Lockdowns looks like he will get to serve another term. One wonders how, with the rising prices, shortages and destruction of businesses and lives that Democrat policies have brought, many suburbanites are still voting for them. But I'll bet it was a lack of just a bit of extra effort in rural counties to get the vote out, that gave the incumbent another term.

    In my district, turnout was heavy, with many people concerned about taxes and education. But in the end, the majority in this rich suburb of academic families voted Democrat again. Here, where school students got a year of zoom for the teacher's "safety", while the teachers were out making big bucks on the side working as private in-person tutors for rich parents' kids.

    Yep. Lt. Governor in VA is a totally separate election race from the governor election. You do not vote for "governor+Lt. Governor" as a package. You have one line item for Governor, and a second vote line item for Lt. Governor.

    Virginia now has its first black, female, immigrant Lt. Governor. She's Republican.

    Which just goes to show how much racism really exists in Republican voters. If the Republicans were as racist as many on the left here make them out to be, Virginia would not have it's first black, female, immigrant Lt. Governor.
