McAuliffe concedes Virginia governor's race to Youngkin
By Julia Manchester - 11/03/21 09:58 AM EDT

Former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) conceded to Gov.-elect Glenn Youngkin (R) on Wednesday, hours after Youngkin declared victory.
"Congratulations to Governor-Elect Glenn Youngkin on his victory," McAuliffe said in a statement. "I hope Virginians will join me in wishing the best to him and his family."
 
Youngkin narrowly defeated McAuliffe by roughly 2 points on Tuesday.
 
In the same statement, McAuliffe pushed for a number of the liberal initiatives he highlighted during the campaign.
 
"While last night we came up short, I am proud that we spent this campaign fighting for the values we so deeply believe in. We must protect Virginia's great public schools and invest in our students," McAuliffe said.
 
"We must protect affordable health care coverage, raise the minimum wage faster, and expand paid leave so working families have a fighting shot," he added. "We must protect voting rights, protect a woman's right to choose, and, above all else, we must protect our democracy."

I hope it involves multi-story buildings and gravity, but I am not going to hold my breath.

New poltical tactic perfected by Hillary.  Avoid embarassment by not conceding election night, even though you have clearly lost.

Since election board offices in New Jersey opened at 8 am, the Dem candidate tally has increased by thousands of votes.

There were several times last night where Bret Baier pointed out that a Youngkin win was a done deal.  You could tell that he thought it should be called and was irritated that it was not.

In the end, both CNN and MSNBC called it for Youngkin before FoxNews.  Dems are running that network now.

Yep… They will have learned nothing.

Exactly, but if there is one trait common among 100% of all congresscritters is that their need for survival exceeds everything else.
Based on that fact, there might be some being emboldened to think about how their vote might impact their employment in November 2022.

I'll wager that this will give Manchin ammo to vote against any kind Build Back Anything.

Sucks that Murphy pulled ahead slightly in the NJ Gov race, but then again it's Jersey - he should be up by more than 10 points.

No, not the leadership in safe blue districts. But there are at least a couple of dozen seats that were won by Dems by 5% or less.

THEY will be paying attention and screw the leadership.

Telling parents to butt out of their childrens' classroom education is always a losing proposition.  It takes a village to elect a Governor.

@sneakypete
I don't travel in those circles so I don't have names but I would never pick career political hacks, that was Trumps downfall.
To many back channel conversations and relationships built on graft and mutual backscratching....

Need folks that are not interested in political careers or being party favorites.

I REALLY like how you think @EdinVA

I think there is a powerful faction within FNC of the Murdoch boys, Wallace, Hume, Cavuto, et.al who are countering Carlson, Hannity, and Levin for network direction as it pertains to Trump and Trump agenda.  I'd love to be a fly on the wall nowadays to hear what they are discussing.

He may well be by the time they finally stop generating votes.

I only hope and pray that the GOP/RNC begins to push for election/ballot integrity. Now is not the time to relax, the time is to push very, very hard!!!!
