The fats woman has sung.
Former Virginia Governor and 2021 candidate for governor Terry McAuliffe stated final evening that,
“Of us, not all the pieces is counted and we’re nonetheless ready for lots of votes to return in. And we wish to guarantee each Virginians’ voice is heard,”
This morning, with out commentary, McAuliffe posted his concession of the race to Twitter:
— Terry McAuliffe (@TerryMcAuliffe) November 3, 2021
This concession is as milquetoast and canned as he’s, however at the very least he had the wherewithal to do it shortly; and surprisingly, with some grace.
McAuliffe entered the marketing campaign for Governor underneath the idea that he would stroll away with it. Dementia Joe Biden “received” Virginia by 10 factors in any case, and McAuliffe was the governor of the state as soon as, so his title recognition would carry him by means of with a no person on the Republican ticket. McAuliffe assumed he had Virginia within the bag.
So, McAuliffe made the error of dismissing his opponent, then threw out the title Donald Trump one million occasions and tried to connect Youngkin to it. When he acknowledged that Youngkin was surging and he was diminishing, McAuliffe introduced in supposed Democrat heavy-hitters, and pandered closely whereas issuing racist canine whistles.
Glenn Youngkin got here into the race as, nicely, himself. An actual individual, with an extended historical past in enterprise and in Virginia, who spoke concerning the values and points that involved Virginians. Youngkin’s marketing campaign mirrored a terrific love of his state and the precise folks of the state. Youngkin truly did the work of touring throughout the state, connecting with the voters, and specializing in precise state points: like schooling, and the battle over CRT, and parental enter of their youngster’s schooling. Youngkin learn the tea leaves, talked to precise mother and father, condemned those that opposed them. He obtained it proper, and stored getting it proper.
Thank God.
McAuliffe assumed schooling was about pouring extra money into unions and dismissing mother and father and their issues. McAuliffe even had American Federation of Academics’ President Randi Weingarten shut out his marketing campaign—a silly and completely tone deaf transfer if there ever was one.
However McAuliffe’s made a lot That’s what conceitedness and assumptions will get you. And we all know what occurs if you assume….
The ultimate coup de grâce of McAuliffe’s marketing campaign was permitting the Lincoln Venture to run interference for him by trying to smear the Youngkin marketing campaign, with hilarious outcomes. Lie down with canines, wind up with fleas.
As a result of McAuliffe thought he had it within the bag, and campaigned accordingly, the Republican swept the ground with him, and the VA Democrat social gathering. With Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and the Legal professional Normal all victories for the GOP, the State Home has been painted Purple for the primary time since 2009. Virginians who feared the runaway practice of Dementia Joe and his socialist agenda are respiration a sigh of aid.
McAuliffe will little doubt slink again underneath the rock of swamp politics from which he got here, and take pot photographs at Youngkin and the Republican Celebration from a budget seats at CNN and MSNBC. However he shall be shortly forgotten and possibly ignored.
The brighter way forward for a Youngkin governorship has already blinded folks’s eyes to the rest. That’s factor.
