Over the past two weeks, I've sat and observed almost daily how the Governor fell into this blackface discussion....then the Lt Governor fell into a sexual assault accusation....then how the Attorney General also fell into a blackface discussion. The general perception by the public is that all three must resign. The fourth guy in line? A Republican, who sits as the Speaker of the Virginia Legislature. Note, the three guys in question.....are all Democrats.
So this is how it'll end, and you got to see part of this game yesterday....as a Virginia House bill came up to start an impeachment against the Lt Governor (the only one of the three who might have violated a law). Some suggest that the draft will easily pass, and a 60 day countdown would start up with the procedure to impeach the guy (he is black, if that matters....and generally regarded as someone who might be in national politics in ten to fifteen years).
I think as you get within a week of impeachment starting up, the Lt Governor will resign. The Governor will still be around but he'll have a list of twenty-odd people to appoint to the position of Lt Governor (he can appoint the replacement, without a vote). That replacement, I will virtually guarantee you, will be a woman.
Once this lady assumes the role of Lt Governor, within ten days....I think the Governor will resign, and she will move up. Then she will select a replacement to Lt Governor, and it'll be a woman as well. Finally, a week or two after that....the Attorney General will resign, and a woman will be appointed into that position.
So come August, all three 'problem-children' will have been replaced. Women will occupy the positions in question (my humble theory). It might be a sad story over Justine E. Fairfax (the Lt Gov) having to dismantle his future, and never become a Senator, and potential future VP....but his episode in the sexual assault thing really screwed up his future.
Three women resolving this entire Virginia mess? Yes.
