re: #445 Sir John Barron

yours. some odd polling numbers a while back. glad tonight was uneventful there.

Well here’s why I think you shouldn’t be surprised. We went for Clinton by 10 points. We’ve been trending Democratic since Obama beat McCain. I believe Obama beat McCain here but Romney won. The thing is though. Frank Wolf won re-election for years because he was respected and seen as someone who got stuff done. Comstock got elected first in 2014 in a Republican year and as his protege. She sort of benefitted in 2016 since people really weren’t sure if her opponent lived in the district. Wexton had a lot of VA-10 bonafides. Her state senate district is just east of mine and I actually first met her at a Farmers Market when I was a volunteer for Perriello. She signed the petition even though she supported now Governor Northam since she’s a good sport. I’m not surprised Jen won but I was shocked that it was called so early.
