Northam agrees to only three debates, Gillespie responds

Ah yes, another election season is on us. The ads, the promises, the debates. I can see it all now.

The community’s Suits will make their perfunctory appearance at the various Chambers Chase, strutting with all the pretentiousness their self serving social accord requires in the company of political super stars.

The rest of us will catch the 30 second summary on the evening news.

And don’t forget the endless geese cackling, as campaigns go all out to remind us get the vote out. Finalized by the rows of signs lining every corner like goose droppings in the grass.

In the end the blue cities will provide the votes, elect the new regime, and crow about their strong devotion to democracy. RoVa will go back to whatever it is that they do. And the VEC will provide the synopsis of one more boring low turn out election.

So much fun.

Lets go waaaayyyyy back to primary season and remember that Gillespie refused to debate his opponents after the first debate, too. So Northam is just pulling a Gillespie.

Also, lets be honest. At this point, the debates don’t matter. Democrats are going to vote Democratic. Moderate Republicans are going to vote sober for Gillespie and Conservative will likely vote drunk for him since he is the only option other than Northam (thanks a lot Central Committee). The undecideds will remain undecided until they hit the voting booth and then pick at random (or play eeny, meeny, miney, moe).

Why yes I am grumpy about this, thanks for asking:-P
