I don't follow what's going on the all those states so I have no idea. Are the voters sheep who will be led to vote against Republicans became of all the fake news or are pissed at the media? Need to hold on at least ling enough for Trump to appoint at least one more Supreme Court justice.

What part of Virginia? The Virginia Beach-Norfolk area has a huge military presence and is pretty conservative. Richmond is very conservative. In Northern Virginia a large percentage of the population work for the federal government and tend to be pretty liberal.

RICHMOND, Va. — If there is going to be a wave sweeping House Democrats into power in Tuesday's midterm elections, political experts say the results in Virginia’s 7th Congressional District could be one of the earliest indicators.

Solidly Republican since the days of Richard Nixon, the district — north and west of the state capital — is now a toss-up, according to recent polls.



The race pits incumbent Republican Rep. Dave Brat against Democrat Abigail Spanberger, a former CIA undercover operative and first-time candidate. Brat, who ousted House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in a 2014 primary upset by using anti-immigration attacks, was an early adopter of the brand of identity politics that now define the GOP in the Trump era.

Good call.

Nice insight.

Looks like the Dems took the House while the GOP maintained control of the Senate, even picking up a cpl of seats.

Saw a post on twitter that read something like:

Looks like nothing will get done Legislation-wise over the next two years, while we’ll get a few more judical positions appointed with a little more ease.
