1. Perriello's and Northam's campaigns have dug up enough dirt on each other . . .

that they both seem unacceptable.

Platt's numbers look weird. I've been going to her campaign site for at least a month and other than a video connecting her to Biden there is little policy. Fairfax has had policy positions and campaign goals/results up for months. Usually, I don't question a polls findings but it's also hard to believe Stewart is doing so poorly, especially compared to Gillespie.

Was really looking forward to voting in this primary and now I just want it to be over.

Almost forgot, thanks for the info.

3. Had to laugh at the blurb about Corey Stewart claiming to be tRump and failing with tRump voters.

Corey Stewart likes to claim he was Trump before Trump was Trump, yet he’s only at 11% among Trump voters, compared to 32% for “Establishment Ed” Gillespie.

Periello is opposing the horrible 600 mile Atlantic Coast Pipeline and supports wind and solar instead. That's a significant differentiator for me.
