Revenge is for morons. I learned that quickly in Las Vegas. Every idiot thought the team that lost the prior meeting owned the advantage. That is crap. It is exactly the opposite. A late rallying victory inspires incredible energy and determination to do it again, to smack the opponent in the mouth to verify the pecking order while laughing all the way. Last night I bet heavily on the Patriots due to Fury of Anti-Revenge (FAR) against the Falcons after the Super Bowl outcome. I've mentioned that wagering angle many times on this site, although not in recent years.
The Republicans own surreal motivation and incentive. That's all I'm saying. This race would define 2017 and provide incredible boost toward Trump into 2018. The low approval numbers wouldn't mean a damn thing if they steal the governors race in a state with a Democratic governor and that voted for Hillary. The media narrative would be relentless, painting Democrats as failures once again despite theoretical advantages. Trump would chirp and chirp and chirp. All they have to do is pull off one upset in a hardly impossible race and suddenly they can convince reluctant candidates to run in 2018, and draw more volunteers and donors, etc.
We can't allow it to happen. I think there is a hidden Shy Tory white vote out there time after time in favor of the GOP right now so I don't believe any poll with Northam significantly ahead. I suspect Northam wins narrowly thanks to independents shifting our way.
