Talk:2009 Virginia gubernatorial election

message: Seems to me those elections should be in a separate page, or two separate pages, and the gubernatorial election should have its own.  Other gubernatorial election pages don't have other elections on the page. --Muboshgu (talk) 05:44, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Anyone else think the table of endorsements is excessive? To extend it out until June would make it huge. I don't see it's point.--Patrick «» 03:13, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

message: The Virginia Republicans are using a convention, not a primary, to nominate McDonnell.  Virginia law is funky in that it allows the party to pick the method of nomination, so the two parties are using different methods.Tyrenon (talk) 04:45, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Since this article only discusses Deeds and McDonnell, are we to assume that there are no third-party candidates? --JHP (talk) 01:36, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

message: So is this election (and New Jerseys) just whoever gets the most votes? Do you have to cross 50% or is a plurality sufficient? 124.184.96.26 (talk) 22:04, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Who wins?

message: I've posted this on the talk page for the New Jersey gubernatorial election article too, but I think we have a decent chance of getting this article on the front page of Wikipedia tonight, in the "In the News" section on the right side. I think we have an even better chance if we come up with a good hook that covers both this and the NJ articles. The hook used on Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates right now is:
:"Voters go to the polls in elections in the United States for Governors of Virginia, New Jersey and the Northern Mariana Islands, and special elections for two Congressional districts, and several municipal elections."
That seems a bit lengthy to me, and less likely to be picked. Any suggestions to tighten that? We might drop the Marianas, and maybe the congressional districts? Certainly if the winners are of the same party, it will make for a tighter statement, like "Republicans Bob and Chris won..." verses mixed results that turn out like "Republican Bob won in VA while Democrat Jon won in NJ..." Not to say that's my politics, but that how it might start for the main page. If the Conservative Doug Hoffman wins in NY-23, it could get even longer "Republican Bob, Democrat Jon, and Conservative Doug won..." which might led us to drop party monikers. Ideas?-- Patrick {oѺ∞} 23:17, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Results 

message: Several governors have been elected to high office with over 60% of the vote e.g. Democrat Jim Hunt in North Carolina in 1980 and Republican Terry Branstad in Iowa in 1990.  Since, this claim is false and reflects poorly on Wikipedia's credibility, I have removed it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.113.249.184 (talk) 19:12, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
