Over the weekend, I posted Blue Virginia’s ratings/thoughts for tomorrow’s Democratic primaries for the State Senate and for House of Delegates. Now, Elections Daily is out with their ratings (by Republican Joe Szymanski), and I thought it would be interesting to compare/contrast with Blue Virginia’s.
