I love how the "Grassroots" label seems to get tossed on EVERYTHING the Left does to raise money.

They are doing anything they can to cover up the fact that they are more heavily financed by Wallstreet and Big Business than the Republican party

To be fair the rich and big business do need to have a voice and have their interests represented the problem is you have to be honest about it so you can have an honest diologue about policy and how to do things.

Both McAuliffe & Youngkin tied up 46%-46% in the Monmouth University polling survey.

Interesting to see if the PPP polling survey shows similar results.

PredictIt.org has McAuliffe crashing to 70c, Ayala now around 81c & Herring hovering around 83c.

I feel like whenever it’s a dead heat for a Republican, it really means there’s a slight edge given how “voting Republican” comes off as being a mark of shame (aka the Wilson Goode effect).

Youngkin is definitely making this a close race by focusing on the issues that matter, which is crucial. I honestly think he will win.

Murphy, OTOH…the problem is NJ Democrats are much more entrenched. He’s a worthless tool but who knows. The only reason he’s coasting along now is the pandemic aid that’s allowing him to not raise taxes the next couple of years, but that won’t last.

Besides, anyone who wants to get out of NJ does so -there’s a reason we are consistently competing with Alaska for “most residents leaving for a new state” each year.

I'm thinking VA Dems keep Lieutenant Governor & State Attorney General.

But the VA House of Delegates is almost certainly gone!

I should note Obama is campaigning for McAuliffe & Co., on tomorrow.

I saw that, and the fact that the Richmond school district made up some bullshit excuse for closing schools for a time so their teachers can go out and turn out the vote for McAuliffe as well. The Democrats are scared and rightly so. But I think these shenanigans are only going to hurt them in the long run -and they’re bringing in Biden as well (which should be…interesting).

I remembered Biden campaigning for CA Governor Gavin Newsom (D) days before the recall election, which Newsom easily defeated the recall in a massive landslide.

What does the 'c' mean after the numbers?

"c" there means "cents", one US Cent is one one-hundredth of a dollar, or, one US Penny, in fact if you look at the reverse of the Penny it clearly states its value as "one cent"
