The Race Is On In VA & NJ with David Wildstein & Larry Sabato
Episode 332
James and Al celebrate the hostage return, call on the Democratic leadership to stand up and take the reins, and expose the savagery of the upcoming class of Young Republicans. Then, they welcome the New Jersey Globe’s David Wildstein and political seer Larry Sabato to discuss the candidates and forces at play in the gubernatorial races in NJ and VA. They explore how Spanberger and Sherrill are balancing national and state issues, how hard they are standing up to Trump, and share their predictions on the outcomes. Additionally, they share what areas to watch, warn of the influence of gerrymandering, and explain how the states have changed in recent years.

Although it took forever for David Wildstein to say it, I knew he would based simply on his comments when he said, "“It's still a little harder to run against a woman, you know." Really? Is that why he was holding Mikie to an impossibly high standard, never noting how it was illegal and dirty for what her opponent did in obtaining her military records, and citing the good old trope for her to "be more specific in policies?" We women put up with enough in our daily lives, continue to have our rights taken away so to listen to someone like him question Mikie Sherrill's integrity and ability speaks to why it's never enough -- no matter experience or record -- for some when it comes to electing women as executive leaders of a state or our country.
