Virginia Governor – 2021 compared to 2025

Overall, there have been far fewer polls in 2025, and this explains the gaps you see in the lines of Sears and Spanberger. But more recently, polls are showing up in greater number and Sears is exactly where Youngkin was at this stage.

    Contrary to janzam’s lies yesterday, Trump DID invite Netanhayu to go to Egypt with him.

    Trump tried to continue the diplomatic celebrations by tempting Netanyahu to accompany him to his glitzy summit in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, to discuss Gaza’s future with a gathering of world figures, including the chairman of the Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas.

    The Israeli leader initially accepted the invite, only to backtrack two hours later. The official reason given was the proximity to a Jewish holiday. But behind closed doors, officials said Netanyahu didn’t want to risk being photographed with Abbas, whom he has attacked and tried to weaken for years.”

  3. Sears won a statewide election herself, presumably if everyone who voted for her votes for her again she would win.

    Spanberger has made a lot of mistakes, but none as big as McCauliffe suggesting parents don’t have a role in their children’s education.

    But there is still time…

  4. I thought it was funny when janzam suggested Trump would not invite Netanhayu because otherwise the “leader of Iraq” wouldn’t come.

    That is not like Trump at all, he would have said “f-ck him, he can come or not, I am bringing Netanhayu”

  5. And after a somewhat puzzling back-and-forth, Netanyahu declined to travel with Trump to Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, to attend the deal’s official investiture, despite a last-minute, behind-the-scenes attempt by the US president to get him there.

All the guy had to do was stand there in the batter’s box and hold still, and he would have been plunked on the leg to tie the game. Instead human instinct took over and he jumped out of the way of the pitch way inside. Then he struck out and the ballgame was over.

    Yes, for diplomatic reasons Trump did invite Netanyahu to the summit. However, Iraq didn’t want him there. And Turkey’s president said he would turn his jet around should Netanyahu be at this meeting. Turkey has a key role in the 20 Point plan and so their presence was essential. Also, observers in Israel noticed that Trump and Netanyahu had an uncomfortable time together when they rode in “the Beast” together. While in the public eye they both save face. But their personal time together has not been as cordial as before.

    More “frosty and distant”

    US President Donald Trump praises Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s “great courage and patriotism” in his address to the Knesset, saying “his partnership did so much to make this day possible.”

    He asks Netanyahu to stand up as the plenum applauds.

    “And he’s not easy, I wanna tell you,” says Trump. “He’s not the easiest guy to deal with. But that’s what makes him great.”Thank you very much, Bibi. Great job,” he says.

    Trashed Cuomo non-stop, so I doubt Cuomo will drop out either. Made (or tried to make) the case that he is the only one that could beat Mandami one on one. Said Cuomo is no moderate, governed as a far leftist and killed 15,000 nursing home patients.

I know there have been plays before where two runners rushed the plate only a few feet yards apart and the catcher tagged both out. Don’t recall if those plays involved 8-6. But for the catcher to first record a force out, then an unassisted force out at third base, that’s gotta be a first I would think.

  41. DW,

    I DO appreciate your work on comparing the last two VA gubernatorial races. I would say that Younkin (an unknown then) had room to grow four years ago. I do not think Sears has room to grow.

    Plus, Youngkin was a more upbeat, dynamic, positive, animated person than is Sears.

    As far as physical looks, Youngkin is way ahead of Sears in that category. Sears just ;looks old–which will turn off some slice of voter who tend to vote on looks and appearances rather than (to them) boring policy issues.

    Hope I am wrong. I do not like Spanberger…typical liberal D pretending to be moderate”. I know how she will govern…

    If Sears wins, (and she is right on all the issues) I will be shocked. Of course it depends on turnout….and mail in votes…

    I think the R wins the AG race, as what the D candidate said about shooting Rs has turned off a lot of independent voters.

    I doubt if the gay R for Lt. gov. will win.

  42. I agree Walt that Sears is no Youngkin. However, Spanberger is no McAuliffe either. Standing there looking like a dummy while Sears kept asking her, you have no answer? We are talking about murder and you cannot call on him to drop out? You have nothing to say?

  44. NO, the buga sphere is not going to kill people. But if it is real, then it is not man-made, hence proof of intelligent life beyond our own.

    Dems do not acknowledge any supreme being or any aliens or alien god yeyond the government in WAshington D.C. They will be beside themselves…and then will of course want to tax all the aliens, alien technology, alien artifacts, etc. Plus, if all the ‘hype’ about ATLAS and the other space object turn out to be of alien origin, Dems will suffer loss of interest by the public in glowbull warming, and all the other sci Fi fiction they continually bark about to seming show interstate in wanting to help people and of course the Ds blame the Rs for all the fake issues like glowbull warming.

    If aliens were within days from orbiting around earth, who would care about government shutdown, GlowBull warming, freeing Gaza, helping all people of the world to come to the U.S. and live here, getting Trump out of office, Epstein files, paying protesters to create chaos in the streets?

    Republicans, naturally, would want to contact the aliens and get their views on all the key social issues (gun rights, abortion, boys in girls sports, etc) and hope the aliens are on the R side of the scale on each. Then the Rs would form an alliance with the aliens.
