I hope John Cox gets elected as Governor of CA.

The GOP shoot their foot here. Maybe they'll realize that nobody likes Christie.

Yeah those polls are all biased right. If Northern Virginia votes like it did in 2013 Northam will win. It will all come down to turnout. New Jersey is done deal, The only question is how bad will the down ballot damage be.

California votes for governor next year and there is no way a republican wins.

This comes on the heels of a Hampton University poll that gave Gillespie an 8 percentage point lead (but that also carefully noted that many of its respondents did not know or would not say who they support, a fact that the poll quite properly said could mean Nov. 7 will turn out differently), the latest Christopher Newport University poll that found Northam had a 7 point lead, a Monmouth University poll that calls the race at 48 percent for Gillespie and 47 percent for Northam, a FOX news poll that puts the race at 49 percent Northam to 42 percent for Gillespie and a Roanoke College poll that calls the race at 50 percent to 44 percent for Northam.

Who knows.

Ok fair enough but what makes you unsure about New Jersey? Polls have consistently shown a huge lead for Murphy. The down ballot damage will likely be extreme as many county races are up as is the state legislature and several high profile mayor races like Atlantic City and Jersey City.

I'm not really thinking of Jersey. I just copied the poll option that I voted for. It was closest to what I thought might happen in Va.

You said earlier your unsure of the outcome in New Jersey. What makes you think that?

Read the above again. There are only a few states that I am paying attention to for personal reasons.

your exact words

I think the Democrats will win New Jersey definitely. Virginia is a toss up but, I give it to the Democrats as well although it will be close.

Lets also not forget the legislature elections in New Jersey and Virginia. I wonder how many seats they gain in the Virginia House of Delegates. I hope they gain it but that is probably unlikely.

New Jersey's legislature is dominated by Democrats already and they will hold their seats (as a resident in the state, I know). Given Virginia has been leaning blue for the last 8 years, I wouldn't be surprise although it probably won't happen.

Democrats will probably increase their majority in the New Jersey Legislature. They already have a super majority. They are guaranteed at least one gain in the Senate. District 7. The Republican incumbent is retiring.

And with Phil Murphy evidently dominating the polls, I wonder if we'll get weed in New Jersey sometime relatively soon.

Well CA has voted for more Republican governors throughout its states history, and outside of LA and the other major cities the state is pretty damned red so it boils down on how bad is the immigration in South California and voter turnout. Plus with some of the BS Jerry Brown has pulled with making knowingly spreading AIDS no longer a felony, and such can and would be a drag, while I do agree he has made some good moves this isnt one of them and i do think it could put him behind

Thats a discussion for another thread.

Well yeah, that's a given. Virginia is really the only interesting one anyway but, I do believe the country will tilt to the Democrats given Trump's popularity in some states. We'll have to wait and see.

I do suspect if Virginia goes blue it will mostly be down to the dissatisfaction with the Donald.
