I Need A New Career

Hard to accept, but Youngkin's approach of rolling up huge margins in the red counties with a carefully targeted subterranean communications strategy, combined with running on a cheerfully packaged center right platform to shave down suburban margins, appears to be working.

...as a political pundit.

It can’t be that hard.

The local bowling alley served up slaw dogs and red eyes (beer+tomato juice). The lunch counter in town featured beige — the decor, the waitresses’ uniforms, and the food were all beige. People had gun racks (with guns) in the back windows of their cars.

IOW, large swathes of rural Texas, just without the slaw dogs and red eyes. We eat better than that, even in the back of beyond.

Otherwise, that sounds pretty damned familiar, even in suburban areas.

So maybe I have an unfair advantage over the pundits.

I’ve been talking w/ @MelissaRyan about this: a lesson top Dems need to learn, pronto, is that the campaign is not the campaign.

The talk of schools wracked by CRT & trans rights run wild traveled mostly through Fox & other right-wing outlets — not from Youngkin himself. https://t.co/xSdGslnwHG

In the meantime, this guy gets paid to think this!

If I’m so smart, how come I’m not making that money?
