Beth Macy

What about all those people who voted? Again, Louise Lucas isn't on the ballot.

If you decide now you don't want to vote for Tom Perriello or Beth Macy or Elaine Luria or Shannon Taylor because she's a member of the same party, well, then you really didn't want to vote for her in the first place.

But I'm sorry, this is one of the problems with these long extended elections.

ridiculous early voting periods as well.

It takes in a lot of the Shenandoah mountains and stretches all the way up from the northern tip of the state down to southwest Virginia.

Yeah, and we won't tell Beth Macy what you said about her chances there.

I did not see that many Beth Macy signs.

I did see a lot of Ben Green signs.

My

analysis.

Did you hear the Beth Macy jingle?

Not in the wild.

And just, you know, keep the faith and hang on to each other because this is going to be a rocky election.

next two weeks the more pressure trump is under the more he crumbles and the wilder things get the more desperate the republicans are going to get the more optimistic the democrats are going to get and um and go out there and do it and if you are in a district that is anything less than, say, R plus 15, go work for your Democratic candidate because there's some sleeper races out there that are suddenly looking like they very well might flip, including, I just talked the other day to Beth Macy in Virginia.

She's terrific.

Chris Jones, as I say, in Arkansas.

Kind of a real MAGA Republican, Ben Cline, a good Democratic candidate.

Beth Macy, I think is her name.

So-

Yeah.

[chuckles] Yeah.

No, but let's-- I, I should look at that maybe after the election.

Um, [chuckles] but anyway, good for Beth Macy for running.

You know, that is one thing that happens when you get a Trump reelected and you see what happened those first six, nine months of twenty twenty-five.

Get a Democrat in there.

Because, by the way, I should mention Beth Macy is a Democrat running for Congress on her notoriety, mostly not on her accomplishments besides, well, being notorious.

But anyway, you said there was actually another point to your question rather than where does Appalachia begin? Appalachian.

And isn't that really a societal thing? Isn't being you know, that's like saying, where do hillbillies live? You know, Jeff Foxworthy had a wonderful arc in his, you know, you might be a redneck if.

And Michael Martz, last week, I noticed the DCCCC.

is adding that Ben Klein-Beth Macy race to what they call districts in play.

So the Democrats are increasingly shifting the battlefield here and going into deep red territory here with the sixth congressional district, which is the Shenandoah Valley, Roanoke, Harrisonburg.

This is an R-plus 20%.

Well, that's what they, they want it to be in play for a couple of reasons.

A, they would love to win.

They've got a very strong candidate in, uh, Beth Macy.

She's also raised a lot of money.
