2. Hard to say, but it's probably going to be a hard race to win.

Even with the budget shortfall this year. McAuliffe has done a good job. I'm the first to admit he's tone deaf on environmental concerns, but his administration has been good for the democratic voters overall.

So Northam is going to run into the same problem Hillary faced. People will want change even though that change would be a disaster like Gillespie.

3. Even though they usually go against the party in the Whitehouse?

Terry has an approval rating of 58%.

5. True, but we are now in the political season of crazy.

I won't be too positive on any campaign no matter what the polls show, to be honest.

Didn't know Terry's approval rating was that high. I just remember watching Maryland's Gov race to see a popular Gov like O'Malley leave and Maryland went with Hogan over Brown.

4. Gillespie needs to be painted as a corporate raider.

Big money. Corporate money. DC money. Lobbyist money. Foreign money. Insurance firms' money. Wall Street money.

He's bought and paid for by the organizations that screwed working people in West Virginia. Screwed working people in Ohio.

Screwed working people in Pennsylvania. Illinois. Michigan. And the list goes on and on.

Keep saying it.

Gillespie wants to cut social security.

Repeat it every time someone say's his name.

Gillespie is a corporate raider who wants to cut social security.
