Terry McAuliffe is now claiming he's being taken "out of context" — can you believe this guy?
Here are 7 times he confirmed he thinks parents should have no say in their child's education. It's on tape! pic.twitter.com/gTPXGYkPfZ

Quoting Clinton’s bagman Terry McAuliffe is the most effective way to campaign against him. He barely won the last time he ran for governor of Virginia. We shall see how this turns out.
Virginia Democrat Terry McAuliffe ends an interview early, then attacks the reporter for asking tough questions.

Hm. The audio cuts out in the second video. No chance to hear anything quoted in the tweet. 🙁
McAuliffe “You should have asked better questions”
translation “You should have asked questions that make me look good, like you usually do for democrats”
Regrettably, close enough for the Democrats in Virginia to stuff the ballot boxes. Fairfax County has all but admitted that’s coming.
Barring a cascade preference effect, I don’t see Youngkin pulling it out. As Art points out, it’s close enough to steal.
We will have to content ourselves with a squeaker loss in a hardcore blue state.

It’s not a hardcore blue state and the Republicans won the governorship in a landslide as recently as 2009. They held the legislature as recently as four years ago. With an ungerrymandered congressional district map, the Republicans would win 5 of 11 seats seats in a subpar year; in Maryland, 3 of 8 would be a best case scenario. It is fairly closely divided, however, so the Democrats’ shenanigans do matter.
I smell upset in the air:

I’m not counting any election before the votes are totaled…

If there’s one thing 2020 has taught me, “close enough to steal” is a joke. At this point they could have reporters filling out stacks of ballots on air and nobody would bat an eye. Heck they published a confession in TIME and dared anybody to call them on it. The state could have 150% turnout and what’s anybody going to do about it?
Even if we do have a “close enough to steal” threshold, it’s something that will naturally expand over time. Once conservatives accept that a 1% margin may lead to a stolen election, the dems can start stealing elections where conservatives merely had a 2% lead. The only reason that they would get into trouble there and not with higher leads is if people were outraged that they stole an election they were so blatantly losing. But if conservatives have already resigned themselves to loss because they were only 1% ahead, the outrage is no longer there.
We got to this point because of the number of elections lost due to ballots “unexpectantly” being found in a car trunk, and the fact that conservatives started to react by saying “well, what can you do? That’s just how it works, we should have gotten more votes.”
We in Virginia are not giving up. Loudon County School Board sessions as seen on TV are a tip of the iceberg. Pro lifers are not just Catholics. Northern VA and Richmond are worrisome though. Black vote are probably Dem.
If we can turn the Assembly there is hope. Thankfully in Del Margaret Ransone R we have a native Virginian who is color blind, pro family, pro life, mother and wife, and pro small business. The latter means farms, vineyards, orchards, forestry, shellfish, fisheries, trucking and tourism.
