“Throughout the course of Virginia’s only gubernatorial debate, Abigail Spanberger fixed her eyes on the middle distance as Winsome Earle-Sears unleashed a relentless barrage of interruptions. Spanberger, a former Democratic member of Congress and CIA operations officer, and Earle-Sears, the Republican lieutenant governor, descended into a series of bizarre scenes so often that viewers were probably wondering what they’d stumbled into. It had everything: exasperated moderators, rapid-fire questions on the government shutdown, the state’s controversial car tax, and more, followed by answers that had to clock in at 60 seconds. Earle-Sears even managed to insert herself into Spanberger’s closing remarks. If Saturday Night Live writers want to turn it into a skit, as they did with Sarah Palin in 2008, they won’t have to do much.” [editor’s note: Fearful for NJ if this witch ascends to the throne – SAT] (11/03/25)
