IT SHOULDN'T EVEN BE CLOSE IN VIRGINIA ..... BUT IT IS

by Bob Walsh


Virginia has been infiltrated now for years by the splash-over from D.C. liberals moving to get away from other, more low-class DC liberals but still bringing their liberalism with them.  Terry McAuliffe, former governor of Virginia and road-dog to the Clintons, should be walking away with it.  He isn't.


Glenn Youngkin is the Republican challenger who is now in a dead heat with McAuliffe.  The democraps are so scared they have even brought out Barry to help with the election.  Of course Barry had no ability to attack Youngkin on the issues, so he tried to just belittle and insult him.  It might not work.


Youngkin has hit on one very solid actual issue.  Schools.  McAuliffe has said, repeatedly, on the record, that parents have no business deciding what their kids are taught in schools.  Surprisingly enough a lot of parents disagree strongly.   


A week from Tuesday we will know who is right.


So, will this be a bellwether decision?  Maybe, maybe not.  If McAuliffe does manage to win it could be written off and more of the same-old same-old with a solid liberal being elected in a solidly liberal state.  Nothing to see here, move along.  Even if he just squeeks by when he should be winning by 10% or more.  A win is a win.


However, if Youngkin pulls it off it will be considered by many, especially the Fox News Crowd, to be the herald of a coming anti-progressive wave that will sweep the Philistines from office and from power.  Hell, it might even turn out to be true.  I will be watching the returns with great interest.  I may even sacrifice a cat to the election god.  Damn cats have to be good for something.
