The #s don't lie. Terry McAuliffe should crush Youngkin*. The media is selling "the horse race." [View all]

(Simple question for VA are you for medical science and stopping the Corona virus or are you stupid?)

In Virginia, 6,052,433 people or 70% of the state has received at least one dose. (Lots of smart people aka blue voters in VA)

Overall, 5,372,576 people or 62% of Virginia's population has been fully vaccinated. (Lots of smart people aka blue voters in VA)

The media is pushing crap about Trump's "base" turning out in 2021 in VA to me @ least seems kind of dumb. Trump got
his ass kicked in VA in '16 & '20.

The Democratic Party candidate, Hillary Clinton of New York, carried Virginia with a 49.73% plurality in the popular vote against businessman Donald Trump of New York, who carried 44.41%, a victory margin of 5.32%. (wiki)

Joe Biden 2,413,568 54.11 Donald Trump 1,962,430 44.00 (wiki)

BTW VA around Woodstock, VA is very red, racist, Trump loving, Christian Evangelical/Taliban, and gun loving.

* I might be wrong.
