Strange stuff going on with this one. Some are digging in, although very limited in Dem leadearship, have only seen Jim Moran back him. IMO, this due to the horrible shit repukes have been pulling. I am just a bit shy of Northam's age, was in college at the same time, lived is a racist State. His story is a joke, he either did it because he was racist and thought it was funny, or did it to gain cred with those he was trying to impress. Disqualifying either way.

They cant take the governorship. The Lt Gov is also a Democrat. oldsoftie Feb 2019 #17

They've already put out a sexual misconduct KPN Feb 2019 #25

Assuming the Lt Gov is not guilty of anything, what difference does it make who showed the picture? oldsoftie Feb 2019 #34

It doesn't. But then liberal publications aren't typically spending their time KPN Feb 2019 #37

Well, that base is certainly getting smaller and smaller. oldsoftie Feb 2019 #41

Okay. So you are optimistic. Got it. Everything's KPN Feb 2019 #45

I was agreeing with you. oldsoftie Feb 2019 #50

Not really. Your original point was the KPN Feb 2019 #57

So you don't think a liberal publication would post that picture today if it was Gov Kemp of Ga? oldsoftie Feb 2019 #65

I don't think the Dem Party is actively engaging KPN Feb 2019 #71

Yes, indeed -- almost as if on cue . . . markpkessinger Feb 2019 #42

You mean the Lt governor that the same people who attacked the governor Demsrule86 Feb 2019 #61

3rd in line is also a Democrat. oldsoftie Feb 2019 #66

Who is also under attack now...and the next choice is GOP so no one resigns. If this works no Demsrule86 Feb 2019 #72

Well, he came out with HIS blackface news on his own. If thats what VA has to offer, so be it. oldsoftie Feb 2019 #74

A 40 year old incident of Blackface is not a reason for the governor no the attorney general Demsrule86 Feb 2019 #75

But we've seen 40 yr old issues used against others many times. Time to draw the line? oldsoftie Feb 2019 #76

They looked for dirt, found it...and are now trying to steal the governorship... Demsrule86 Feb 2019 #77

So is the argument..... doompatrol39 Feb 2019 #53

The argument is that whatever happened 35 years ago, it is not worth allowing the GOP to steal the Demsrule86 Feb 2019 #63
