Northam’s position on Confederate iconoclasm has seen his handlers go from full-throated enthusiasm to a very rapid backtracking over the last few days
…and so the For Sale sign goes up on the Governor’s Mansion. Or at the very least, its policies.
The hits just keep on coming for Ralph Northam’s embattled campaign for governor as Fairfax County’s progressives actively booed him at a recent FACS Gubernatorial Energy Forum.
From the Republican Governors Association:
Northam’s campaign has been constantly harassed by anti-pipeline Democrats who have protested his campaign office openings, interrupted him at a debate, and even hijacked the stage at his primary night victory party. With each passing day, Northam continues to alienate his base, leaving Democrats more and more divided ahead of the crucial November election.
This hasn’t exactly been missed by the folks at Blue Virginia, who remain aghast as to why Northam will not adopt gubernatorial challenger Tom Perriello’s progressive stand against the project.
What’s more significant here is that the problem — once thought to be relegated to western Virginia — seems to have legs even in the heart of northern Virginia, a Democratic stronghold that Northam must carry with significant margins in order to be victorious in November.
The Democratic Party’s obsession with abortion imposes a dangerous litmus test in an environment where they are clearly losing the contest of ideas.
Doing a deeper dive into the VCU poll shows that on jobs and the economy, the advantage goes to Gillespie.
That AFP is dropping cash into a battlefield seat to tip those scales is yet another sign that Republicans see something Democrats don’t.
Forget thumbs — a whole hand has to be placed on the scale in order for Northam to measure up against Gillespie.
While the left-wing media takes delight in a two-week old poll, the underlying numbers demonstrate more cause for concern than assurances for Northam.
The abortion industry is terrified that more women are choosing to keep their babies, and is frantic for people like Ralph Northam to keep them in business.
Hard up for cash and hitting the panic button, Northam decides to lap up the blood money from Planned Parenthood — $3 million in fact.
