Nortram's a medical doctor (pediatrician). So let's say he talks straight to the point in the Rand/Ron Paul style, who are also MDs, rather than in a politically smooth style. He fucks up the abortion bill narrative and has to be jettisoned by the dems.

The first news blurbs out about Fairfax is that he's eloquent. Solves the straight talk problem. Fairfax worked for PP as a kid, so he's most likely someone who will keep the abortion law on the table. Solves the abortion campaign problem.

All you have to do is set up Northam with a racial smear and move Fairfax into his place, brag about doing right by the blacks, and having the racist talking points ready for anyone who criticizes Fairfax's abortion bill push.

Cui bono? Yeah, it wasn't the GOP who leaked the blackface pics, if you ask me. For the GOP, Northam is best right where he is; a punching bag who won't dare bring up abortion again.

So th question is, who has Northam's back telling him to hold on? Is there a group who has the goods on the plan to replace Northam with Fairfax?

So, it could be the dems are trying to perfectly time a GOP racism scandal right before the SOTU (goes along with Abrams for rebuttal and the timing of the Chicago MAGA assault), or it could be the pubs giving information to Northam to keep him in power to short circuit the SOTU disrupting scandal plan. If GOP is propping him up Northam has a chance to save his rep wrt racism. That would be the carrot, and revenge for the racism smear would be motivation to grab it.

Yep. Someone has the dems in a headlock.

I'm going by a POTUS press question answer right after the abortion quote clustefuck and before the blackface pic surfaced. POTUS said something along the lines of, "I've met him. I'm surprised he said that." To me, that's pretty close to a compliment in that situation, and indicates POTUS has some respect for the guy. It makes me wonder if POTUS would offer help, since both POTUS and Northam would benefit (POTUS benefit would be not having racism flak blow up the SOTU).

Then you add Northam saying," it's me" (blackface), then coming out the next day and saying. "It's not me". Someone really powerful took his back overnight, when you consider Northam told the whole dem establishment to go fuck themselves, on live TV, no less, wrt to resigning. That's not a look the dems wanted IMO.
