Maybe we should just elect Trump president

[Julian, Forum COGNOSCENTI]

The other thing is the insane electoral process. RVA has 9 districts. To win today, someone must receive the majority of the vote in 5 of 9. If no one wins 5 of 9, the top two POPULAR vote getters go to a runoff in a few weeks which again is a first to 5 district race.

5 districts are hugely AA and 3 are white and one is a toss-up. Morrissey has 4 districts in the bag, and Berry probably has three. Morrissey is competing with Berry in one and Stoney for another. Realistically, only Morrissey can win tonite but you can get the bizarro scenario where he's left out of a run-off because Berry will run up huge margins in the white districts and Stoney will finish 2nd in every district.

The Stoney and Berry camps are claiming they will win any run-off against Morrissey because his (almost entirely lower-class AA voters) will not show back up for a second election.

It's absolutely wild, and Machavellian, and just filthy as hell.

There's a lot more going on then just the saga of Joe Morrissey which is comedy gold. Stoney has run the dumbest campaign ever and basically has done NOTHING to campaign. He thought the Dem nomination would get him the job. Berry is a clown who has been part of every boondoggle (downtown baseball, Redskins training camp) but the whites have rallied around him since therir golden boy Baliles dropped out (even though he asked his supporters to vote Stoney).

It's a mayoral race with 5 major candidates playing in a bizarre district system where no one blinked (until Baliles when it was too late and his supporters had filed absentee ballots) allowing Morrissey to (likely) win. A politics class can also be taught about the pure nature of old fashioned politicking Morrissey is doing. I have never seen any candidate in person out in my neighborhood but him (and I'm not in a Morrissey area). He's went door to door for 9 months meeting people, sending hand written cards to everyone he met and Stoney has sit back on his ass thinking McAuliffe's money was going to get it done.
