I am torn between realism and idealism.

Here’s what I would like to see happen:

Gillespie in a small landslide – 60% to 30% for Northam AND TEN percent for Hyra

Also Vogel and Adams garner similar numbers – maybe a bit more – the Hyra voters would tend not to vote in other races.

GOP holds their own and maybe picks up a seat or two.

BUT

What will probably happen:

Northam and the other Dems win narrowly and Hyra gets 2% or so.  Maybe Jill Vogel breaks through.  And the GOP loses 6-8 seats in HOD.

Now let’s prove me wrong:  Get out and vote!
