Yep. That's what pulled her over the line. Being a single-issue candidate isn't as much of a drawback for Lt. Gov. And Youngkin ran as a moderate, even though he didn't govern as one. That "government is the enemy" line doesn't play well in Northern VA.

It worked to get her elected Lt. Gov. She tried to replay the same campaign but it's a different proposition for Gov. Spanberger beat a R to win her congressional seat and she runs serious, moderate campaigns. She was ahead from the starting bell.

The R candidate here in VA didn't seem to talk about anything else. This wasn't a winning strategy for her.

In a normal situation he would work security at the mall and play a lot of Call of Duty. The chances of him getting a federal job would be 0%

If you're going to do both, the sequence of events is important.

It also supports a conspiratorial world view, where viruses spread and the incidence of autism increases because of how Dr. Fauci got paid or something George Soros did rather than natural causes or better detection. There has to be a bad guy "doing this to you."

The Poseidon Adventure (hey, I was 7), Jaws, Alien in that order.

I've seen that happen. It tends to work best if everyone is on board in advance, not necessarily with the details but at least with the concept of trying something different.

Reducing everything to a PR game got us where we are. I asked my son (20 at the election) why he voted for him. "I think he's funny."

I loved this too. The Scots can be brutally direct.
