So glad for you, PPatriot!!

Best thing ever to happen in Michigan was when we got Gretchen Whitmer for Governor. She has been amazing!

But for the most part expect honesty, compassion and competence. It’s quite the revelation

Congratulations! Well done!

I'm in NJ, I see that neither CNN or MSNBC has called NJ yet, although Mikie is ahead.

Mamdani also won in NYC. So far, it's been a clean sweep for Democrats. I guess that we still have some good people in this country.

You're here.

I’m in the OC, my district will be going back to the same alignment that Katie Porter represented. Lose the crazies in Coto de Caza (home of the Housewives of OC) and pick up the normal neighboring city of Irvine.

Good god, she is insufferable. And she's only in power because of the Fox and church vote.

So hard not to camp out in front of her MV office and shouting insults. Her weekly updates are classic marketing, so damn hard not to call her staff and telling them they and her will need a new job in a year.

Alot of Democrats feel the same way! Glad you're so happy!

What a difference it's going to make too.

Spanberger's path from Rep to Governor.. and Rooting for her all the Way!

There was Terry McAuliffe, though from 2014 to 2018.

she lived in Virgini all her life.

TY!

I would have stayed in Virginia and skipped that whole 31 years in Florida thing.

That's why I said "a state" rather than saying Virginia was finally blue. The past few months have been a breath of fresh air.

The last time I lived here, I worked on the Wilder campaign. The Dems took the trifecta then too.

This is such a different feeling from the perpetual existential dread of elections in Florida.

Lawrence Douglas Wilder (born Jan. 17, 1931) is an American lawyer and politician who served as the 66th governor of Virginia from 1990 to 1994.

He was the first African American to serve as governor of a U.S. state since the Reconstruction era, and the first African American ever elected as governor.[a] He is currently a professor at the namesake Wilder School at Virginia Commonwealth University...

I can feel it

There are several items on their way to enactment in the VA Constitution, including codification of reproductive rights. I think a temporary override to districts (like CA Prop 50) is also underway.

The VA process requires that measure pass TWO sequential sessions of the legislature before being presented to the people for a referendum. This practically assures that this process will go forward, and I expect both of these will pass strongly when voted by the people.

Ralph Northam and Terry McAuliffe were both democrats. They were in office from 2014 through 2022.

You should have included that fact in the op.

My statement was accurate as is. Thanks.

It’s important context. Readers have no way to know that you lived in Florida before Virginia.

The point of the post is that I have not lived in a state with a Democratic governor for 27 years. I could have lived in any combination of states for that to be an accurate statement, not just moved from Florida.

Maybe a better question would be why someone would assume I don't know who my governors have been in that time period.

Your profile says you live in Virginia. There is no way for anyone to know you moved there from Florida.

All the information a reasoning adult needed was there. Clearly I haven't lived in VA for the last 27 years. Does it matter where I was before now? No it does not. It's that simple and not my problem you couldn't sort that out for yourself.

You made a statement and didn't fully explain it. People are not psychic and can't read your mind.

I'm not on this earth to cater to lazy thinking.

to have to figure out lazy posting

It's been fun, but I'm right and you're wrong. Ha! 🫡😃

Have a nice day

Governor: Terry McAuliffe (January 11, 2014 – January 13, 2018)
Lieutenant Governor: Ralph Northam (January 11, 2014 – January 13, 2018)

Governor: L. Douglas Wilder (January 14, 1990 – January 15, 1994)
Lieutenant Governor: Donald S. Beyer Jr. (January 13, 1990 – January 17, 1998)
Attorney General: Mary Sue Terry (January 13, 1986 – January 15, 1994)

From 1870 to 1966, it was all Dems all the time (i.e., no Republican Gov, Lt Gov, or AG since Reconstruction, with the last leaving office about 1870)

The governors here in Fl are not just repubs, they are the worst of the worst. DeSatan is every bit as crazy as the orange idiot. Virginia's win shows that we can turn it around!
